My car B947282 has flasher fitted from original. Ive used it for manyyears.
Same function on my 1973 Norton. Must be a British thing....    Regards Gary

Although I could be wrong, it is my understanding that the headlamp flasher
switch was not fitted to either the Alpine or the Tiger in North America,
probably because it was either illegal or not something NA drivers were
familiar with.  Controlling headlamp functions with your hand was a decidedly
European thing, unlike this side of the pond where we used our foot.  The CAT
Shop Notes indicate that the switch with the extra contact came from the Volvo
140 Series.  I use one on my Tiger to activate the horns, since I did away
with the horn ring from the stock wheel when I replaced my steering wheel.  As
noted, it can also be used as a flash-to-pass headlight switch and the
connections for such are also outlined in the CAT Shop Notes.  I can make a
copy for those who wish but it would be well worth your while to join CAT and
fork over the $25 for the Shop Notes.  It is full of useful info and by
joining you will also get access to the parts that CAT
 supplies.
(Sorry for the commercial, but a worthy cause, IMHO).

As a plug for the East Coast club, TE/AE, start making your plans for the
TE/AE United on Columbus Day Weekend, 2010, in Mid-Coast Maine.
