[Healeys] traficator

[Jean Caron]

Ron:
I use a two part epoxy called PC-7 to repair cracks in the steering wheel, it
should also work with the traficator. I also have some spare parts from a used
traficator, perhaps send photos to see what you need. I also agree with the
comment that was made not to paint the bakelite, I first wash it thoroughly
with mild soap and hot water, then sand it lightly with 1000 paper, I then
apply India ink, let it dry then I apply shoe polish and polish it. I then
finish it with a good car wax and it looks just like new, not too shiny and
unlike the paint it won't flake off.

Cleaned up the bakelite and> plastic horn center myself. Unfortunately I did

get the turn signal re chromed.> Removed the plastic and paper protecting it
and the bakelite part of the> traficator was broken in peaces. I glued it
together with supper glue(gel).> I had model glue but that does not dry fast
enough. I Used the model glue> on one of the tabs that broke off on the horn
part.> > My question is I would like it reinforced so it wonbt fall apart
after prime> it and getting it painted. Any ideas?>
