Need a 6V trafficator repair person??? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Had to look that one up!

Trafficators are semaphore signals which, when operated, protrude from the bodywork of a motor vehicle to indicate its intention to turn in the direction indicated by the pointing signal.

When you find him, tell me please. I can't find any how-to sites on trafficators. I have a couple of different designs here, just need a working pair.

I have the swedish cast mounts and some arrows leftover...not sure if they are the same.
Is there a small cast bracket and the box with arrow bolted to it ?

I'm looking for more of an electrical repair and possible parts replacement!!!! I have two set to "possibly" work from to make the one set work BUT would like to get "both" sets working if I could!!

Not helpful in answering the question, but I once had a pair of NOS ones with illuminated indicator arms with blue Ford script on the orange/yellow lenses.

Sure would have "loved" to had them!!!

Not sure how much help it may be, but if scouring UK ebay the term "semaphore" is often used when listing those items.

I ended up finding a local guy who made me new electromagnets and repaired the pair I needed fixed. I also have two extra sets.....one pair of Bosch that I was "hopefully" going to use for parts IF needed.....then I stumbled across a NOS 6V set of trico's & switch that I bought two fold.....one to "possibly" rob for parts (IF needed) and two (even thought NOT German) they are exactly like the ones that fit into the "A" pillar of our 1935 German Ford SO now I have a brand new set with switch for that car!!! Sure would like to get (or borrow if someone had them) the "Ford" lens to cast and copy!!!
