[TR] TR7/TR8 blinker question

[jpaynepbr at cox.net]

Jim,

If its like other TR's (6's, Spitfires, etc.) then you have to use a lucas
thermal flasher unit.  

The canister ones at the local parts store look similar, but  the thermal
bits inside are not the same, and will cause problems similar to what you
are describing.

There was also a recent string here on the late spitfire hazard switches,
which everything run through  on the late cars causing problems

Low mileage (18k) 81 TR8.  Hasn't been run much.  Beginning my regular
exercise schedule on the car and notice the blinkers are working
intermittently on both sides. Four way flasher work perfectly.  When blinker
does come on it is not a consistent pattern like the flashers.  Three fast
blinks two slow  then nothing.    Right now in garage I'm getting nothing.
I'm thinking it is an electrical  connection or contact point.  Any
recommendations on best place to start.  All four bulbs working on flashers
and other lights work too.  
Thanks,
