[Healeys] BJ8 turn signal indicator lights

[Stephen Hutchings]

I managed to get it all apart and had to glue them back together when I reassembled them- knowing that this would be a one time fix.The green plastic bits deteriorate over time.
I know what Steve means about them pointing in all directions, and this is something that was satisfying to fix- they now point straight left and right.
Trouble is, since the restoration and a new wiring harness, I can’t get them to flash independently…I have some sleuthing to do, but it hasn’t been a priority- maybe this spring.

Stephen, BJ8

I used to have a box full of BJ8 turn signal indicators that I tried to rescue from a junkyard since my indicators had already been replaced with jeweled lenses when I bought the car.  As far as I know, the indicators are still not available new  -- at least they are not offered in the catalogs of Moss, AHead4Healeys, SC Parts, or Victoria British.  I was never successful in unscrewing any indicator assembly from the dash because age had made the plastic so brittle and all of them broke.  It's peculiar that an item so vulnerable to the effects of aging isn't being reproduced.
