Jimmytheparrot1 is selling trafficators
again. Trafficators in OZ ready to shoot off express to you.
Have them in your hands fast... ready to fit ... and by the weekend they will
be flapping up and down. You'll be the life of the party at the traffic
lights(looks in the mirror at the car behind, sees
the grandad explaining them to the nipper next to him)... and at every corner. People always ask about these devices...
" are the little arms working...?"
(overseas are welcome, but must read the blue freight section
below)
Included free are detailed notes and
diagrams** on
how to wire up the trafficators and flashing indicators off
the one switch... (no silly twin switches)... and loads of other info on the
two types of SD84 dash switch, a passenger/freeway switch, how to use 30 cent
diodes to solve issues and so on. I can help with SWT101 or 2A6215
switches as well, if you have them fitted. I will also talk to you about
brackets… I can send new ones to you, or include a paper template for you free, so you can make your own. (the
trafficator itself has a STANDARD tongue and screw fitting, but the bracket can
vary according to the car being fitted to)
This listing... Pair (A) of Lucas 12 volt SF80 trafficators in excellent condition. All ready to go. Cleaned, polished and new correct special 6 x 36 (not 8 x 38) 3 watt festoons. In good working condition. The lenses are original Lucas ones, and appear to be close to NOS standard. The chrome covers are also in a very good condition, and again not far off new standard, with minimal chrome wear-flecks.. They still pull up nicely too when held at a 30/40 degree backwards-tilt on my bench battery... which is a good showing. An all-round original and in very good condition pair.
You may also wish to ask me about SF34 SF40 and all the others.
SF80 were the final evolution of the Lucas trafficator and the best. (in
balance, lightness, pull and changeability of lens & cover etc). SF34 and
SF40 applications can be simply changed to use these if you wish (ask me) , but
I have SF34 for sale as well.

TRAFFICATORS IS 10+ PAGES ON…
-The method for SIMULTANEOUS OPERATION OF FUN
TRAFFICATORS (constant) AND SAFE FLASHERS (intermittent pulse / square-wave)
OFF THE ONE ORIGINAL SWITCH... SETTING IT UP WITH TWO
TURN-SWITCHES, ONE FOR EACH SYSTEM... IS JUST PLAIN SILLY.
-Also notes on sd84 switches as there is an early and
a late SD84 switch... very different internally. Also notes on the
"earthing trick" used in many wirings on old cars, using solenoid
theory... No auto-elecs would be old enough to know it…was used in early fifties
cars and never again!!! Notes on how to have only the one lamp on the
dash inside the light operating on both systems without cross-interference...
how to use diodes.... and... Why the early SD84 is a pain in the bum...
It's not just the car wiring that is different, the early/late switch's
internal links, and method of assembly, are quite different
-Also notes on wiring a “freeway” switch
to stop the trafficators working on the freeway, leaving flashers only. (they
tend to not drop properly over 90kph). This same switch will double as
a “passenger” switch… when you have a
passenger on board, you can stop the traffs from working with this
switch!! WHY?? well... otherwise.... when you drop them off
somewhere with your indicators still on.... from habit as a modern driver...
they will get out and snap it off... happens all the time !!
-Also note on diodes and how to use these 30 cent
gates to solve problems.
-Also brief notes on upkeep, lubrication etc.
OVERSEAS. Overseas buyers are welcome, however, I have had problems with overseas buyers not reading the text for freight, and buying, then not replying for weeks (??!!), so I have had to alter the setup.
Firstly , all overseas freight MUST continue to be with fast reliable private express couriers, NOT the post office. Ebay has a very poor freight setup and it is quite rigid. Ebay does not understand (??) that different countries have vastly different rates for express courier. I am now making the rate TOP-DOWN... not BOTTOM-UP. Before, I charged the a very low rate on ebay , then billed for more (bottom-up). But , because overseas buyers sometimes do not reply properly, it will now be a default TOP-DOWN. You pay the maximum country rate at purchase, and THEN, I REFUND the portion for your country.
Examples. USA is the lowest, they pay the max $128, but then get a refund of about $30 to $40. UK is medium, they pay the max $128, but then get a refund of about $15 to 20. Middle East is high... and they get no refund.
This is what I mean by top-down. In this way, I do not need to explain/wait for the buyer to send me more money (some have messed around for 3 weeks, which greatly disturbs me as it makes me look incompetent). I can get it going the next day... and send the refund from their paid-$128 straight after.
Post Office is strictly forbidden due to their shocking follow-up service if any problems... and they're too slow as well.
To look for items in my shop, the easiest way is to
save any one of MY 1400 items in your watchlist... Then, whenever you
want to peruse my 1400 items... simply click on the hyperlink called “visit store”
at the top right of this item. That will take you to a page with my 40
store categories... click the category, and that category will be
displayed with photos on the right... thus a “window-shop”.
Plodding through the Ebay mire of the general search
box... or the “see other items” hyperlink is simply the way to insanity.
If you’re using Ebay’s useless mobile app, I’m
sorry... I have no idea how you will find them… this app is a real
shocker/compromise in quality and half the stuff is missing. Go to your
PC is my advice.
