tiny indicators

did quick search in electrics and sva but nothing turned up.

I have a set of small indicators that would be preferable to the large rectangulars one already fitted, as below. In the mags. many 7's have these or similars one fitted but when I meaure the distance from the vechicle side, they do not comply with the maximum distance of 400 mm by aout 30 mm, close but not close enough.

So do folks fit others for SVA then <cough> somehow these end up on the nose cone instead?

Have a search around here - people have extended the mounting arms by various means...

On a similar note.

Do the indicators in the mirrors count as a front set or a side repeater?

Our solution was to machine some aluminium bar to make indicator extensions. They looked OK so we left them on.

Just another off the wall idea: how about the flexible metal tubing that you get on some desk lights? Then you could reposition the indicators into different positions when you felt like it

I used bike indicators. The fixing num was tapepd into some 15mm copper pipe and held in with araldite. The bike lamp just screws in.
20mm round plastic electrical conduit is a nice fit over the copper and is about the same diameter as the lamps. I even got some carbon fibre effect film of eBay so that the condiut matched the lamps.
