I'm after some knowledge regarding what indicators and switches you may have fitted to your vehicles.

I have no switch or Ind lights on my Ford pop and i'm open to any suggestions you may have.


Is there a column switch unit or do you place the switch on the dash?

I'm sure there are other Pop owners who have already completed this task

Automatic cancelling is always a problem when indicators are added to cars not so equipped. Timed switches come up from time to time on ebay and at auto jumbles. These operate like an egg timer, slowly unwinding to off - so the indicators will not flash for ever. These are normally dash mounted.

Another problem is with lights, if you wish not to alter the bodywork. A tidy way out of this is to use motorcycle indicators with stalks mounted on the bumper bolts. If connected by plugs they can be quickly removed for shows etc (see my little picture on the left).
