[Staowners] {Spam?} Re: {Spam?} indicator arms

[starcars8 at comcast.net]

Mal, export cars, especially to the US, were fitted with flashing turn signals as standard equipment hence the outer panel not being punched out for trafficators.   Domestic cars still used the semaphore style trafficators.   If the tail lights are of the two bulb style flashing turn signals were fitted from the factory.  Also the domestic cars had white tail light lenses with a red glass cover over the stop/tail bulb.  The second bulb was for reverse lights.   

If the chassis/engine number has an LRX suffix it would indicate an export car.   Hope this throws some light on it for you.     One more thing.   There would be an extra indicator light along side the high beam warning for the turn signals.

Hi everyone,thanks to those who replied to my question on cam bearings,but haven't come up with any new bearings as yet,
  Another question, wanting to know the facts on the external indicator arms, that were fitted to the Sedans and Alpine,  of the Alpines I have restored,all of them have provision for fitting these Indicator arms, on the inner panels,ie securing brackets and the slots,on the inner skin,but not punched through to the outer skin, my lastest Alpine,which is a early car A3012973 does not have the holes in the outer panel,for the arm either,  I have noticed that some Alpines and the 6 works cars have the indicator arms fitted,trying to work out when these arms were dropped from production,and maybe the export cars never had them,possible only home market cars, anyone throw any light on this?  Mal Clark.
