I have had one too many muppets fail to see the trafficators on my old Daimler Conquest Century and pull out in front of me on roundabouts. I'm not about to blight the poor old girl by bolting on aftermarket amber indicators, so I've decided to wire the side and brake lights up to flash when the trafficators are in use. The sidelights are easy enough - just fit a dual-filament bulb holder and have the 21 watt filament wired to the flasher unit. Even I can work that one out. The rear is causing me a bit more of a problem though. If I wire the flasher unit to the brake filament of the tail light bulb then it'll flash fine until I hit the brake but then the flashing will stop when the brake lights come on. I could wire it so that the trafficator switch kills the feed to the brake light switch, but then I've got no brake lights at all when I'm indicating. What I need is a means of cutting the brake light feed to just the side that is flashing, and unfortunately my wiring skills won't quite run to that. Anyone know how it's done?

Yup. The early Minors and associated British tat only had a single rear red light that used a specific relay. Used to cost £80 ish as stocks dwindled but an enterprising sole has recreated a 'lil black box -sold on the bay- for £25. I've just using one to convert a 30's Standard from semaphores to indicators- and it seems fine.
