Hi all,

I'm looking for instructions/mounting details for the Birglow Auto Signal, a mechanical illuminated hand used for left turn signalling on 1920s/30s cars. Does anyone have any literature on this oddball thing? I've googled but not turned up any fitting instructions as yet.

thanks, R

Yup that's the thing, I'm intrigued about how/where the control unit would fit inside the car.

thanks

The hand is just on the offside so I would guess the control would be under the dash or on steering column.

Being an aftermarket idea I would guess you fit it wherever best suits your particular vehicle, you could also paint out some of the fingers and use it for giving the bird.
