[6pack] Trafficator Clip

[David Friedlander]

Thanks, Dick and all who replied to me on this issue. I think I
have a good handle on how to proceed...

I hope to get one last ride in my Six (testing the turn signal
cancellation left and right) before shutting her down for the
winter.... Sigh...

Cheers, all!!
