MG MGA - Flash to pass switch

Well this is the new MGA gold! A flash to pass switch just sold on ebay for £235.03, that's over $350 US.

That's good to see Neil, maybe someone will reproduce them then

That crazy price is still not up with original Judson boost gauge prices, but it is still pretty eye watering!

So whats the switch and an original relay worth? I've got both.

I looked at the switch when it was £9.99. When i went to bid on it it had jumped to £180 - i didn't bid. Much as i like originality there is a line to be drawn. I have now bought a chrome shaft flasher switch and will resin the stalk shape to look like an original. I will be happy.

I purchased a Lucas 23A flasher switch in 2010 paying AU$100 for it, if you want a cheap version http://www.holden.co.uk product 020.145 switch long black lever (rounded similar to the 23A) @ £10.73 The 2 differences - it is not uni directional like the 23A and although the same length it is a little slimmer with a positive make sprung break as should be. The 23A I purchased has a miniscule movement which is less than the 5mm that MGA Guru Barney mentions. I have measured the make/break on my multimeter and although it works need a fair bit of pressure

I never go fast enough that I would have to use.
It's pretty rare that I pass anybody. But that's me...

Cheers.

Should be called the "flash to say hello!" switch.

I just flash my spotlights by pulling the F switch.

...Or the "flash to say cop with radar gun ahead!" switch.
