Can anyone recommend a supplier for a mk1 flasher unit? or another more reliable unit to replace it.
Last time I replaced it over 10 years ago, I tried multiple new ones that didn't work then found an old one in a scrap yard.
Also, Ive read that early ones only work on positive earth, Is this correct?
Many thanks in advance.
Luke

Re: Flasher units
I take it this is a 3 pin can ?
The Thermal type 'click-click' cans are not polarised.
If you want the same type of can, Hella branded type 3003 are very good. Tridon's TF123 is another but of much lesser quality, though, not the worst.
Not sure that anyone does an electronic type for positive earth.

Re: Flasher units
I fitted an electronic one into an old can type flasher unit, so can use LEDs. Looks 99% original from the outside.

Re: Flasher units
Hella have a few others;- 3024 and 3025.
Another OK-ish brand is Narva, their can P/N is a 68203.

Re: Flasher units
Is it a two or three pin you're after? I may have an odd NOS unipart one kicking around
