Has anyone made up a kit and fitted hazard warning lamps, I can't find a thread anywhere but I'm sure someone must have retro fitted at some point.

Moss-Europe do a kit with instructions for £34. Ref GSS159. For MGB etc but shouldn’t be a problem. Wiring diagram for crab mark 3 shows wiring details as well.

I also found this useful. www.autosparks.co.uk/bsccIt lists the standard British car wiring colours. I found it useful to identify wires quickly rather than squinting at the wiring diagram. Tony s |

Hazard light switch and relay now installed on my 18/85 but the side repeater lights and the turn signal lights are on separate circuits so at the moment the side repeaters don't operate when in hazard mode. My MOT guy says they don't have to as the Hazard lights are not an original part, however I would like them to operate in Hazard mode. Any auto electricians out there? I have my own ideas but need to consult the wiring diagram first.

Hi Chalkie.
Pretty sure that the repeaters on my 18/85 (and the Austin) are just spurred off the front flasher wiring. Works fine on both.
Chris.

Later Canadian Austin 1800s came with hazard lights, by 1971 they did anyway. The hazard relay is located beside the turn signal relay behind the right end of the parcel shelf. None of the side markers (front or rear) flash though - only the turn signal lights flash. The picture is from when my tandem brake failure warning light was on - another Canadian safety thing. That Moss GSS159 kit Tony mentioned (SFB300 on some websites) would be a good 'period' choice. That style of Lucas pull hazard switch was used over here in TR6s, Spitfires, and several other British imports. I also like way they neatly tucked the relay into the housing on that kit.  |
