Re: Decided against turn signals.....what about this idea?

There is obviously a large percentage of Model A owners, who have chosen to not have turn signals.

I was quite surprised to see such opposition to my strobe light idea.....but, in retrospect, it...

Re: Decided against turn signals.....what about this idea?

You know Y-Blockhead... I agree with that 100%. Whether one uses hand signals, or has turn signals, it just doesn't matter if the other driver isn't paying attention... and, that accounts for the...

Re: Decided against turn signals.....what about this idea?

I guess we'll find out about that Ordsgt. You could very well be right, and I'm going to put your theory to the test!

If I have problems, or additional thoughts on this subject.....I'll be sure...

Re: Decided against turn signals.....what about this idea?

Hello GeneBob......I'm keeping an open mind about the possibility of turn signals in the future. For now, my intentions are to try out the strobe light idea.

Thanks, EOG

Hello Ruth......Well, I guess you just have to be thick skinned around here, and let negative comments roll off your back. Judging by the thread titled "Manners... A new rule...", it sounds like...

Re: Decided against turn signals.....what about this idea?

That's a great idea......only, wouldn't it be more appropriate to use an amber bulb up front in the headlight housing?

Re: Decided against turn signals.....what about this idea?

Those are interesting......are the trafficators currently being manufactured anywhere?

Some here feel that hand signals won't be recognized by other drivers, and the same problem may occur with...

Re: Decided against turn signals.....what about this idea?

Thanks for that, Dick....

At this point, the strobe is nothing more than an experiment. I hope it works out, too.....but, I don't discount the possibility that someday I might end up with turn...

Re: Decided against turn signals.....what about this idea?

All could be true......but, the fact is, the turn signals were not available. If they had been, they would have been "period correct", and I would insist on having them!

Hope things are going well...

Re: Decided against turn signals.....what about this idea?

I can agree with that.

My 28ccpu didn't come with turn signals.

I'll give you your space to believe as you wish......all I ask is to be given mine! :)

Re: Decided against turn signals.....what about this idea?

Thanks, Chris.....

If I had cowl lamps, I might be a little more interested in turn signals. Here in Montana, local traffic isn't as hectic as in some other places, so this strobe idea does make...

Re: Decided against turn signals.....what about this idea?

I don't get the childish resentment with this idea, either.....:(

The strobe is on the way.

Looking forward to trying it out! :)

Re: Decided against turn signals.....what about this idea?

Well, I've decided to give this strobe light a try......ordered just now!

I could easily install one of the turn signal kits on my model A.....but, like I said, they just look out of place.

Do you have added turn signals on your model A?

Re: Decided against turn signals.....what about this idea?

No.....use like you would normally do for regular hand turn signals.

There are many model A owners that swear by their add-on turn signals, and I can see where they would be a great addition to a daily driver......but.....I really hate the look of them. I want my...
