Hello All.

    First I would like to say that I have been a subscriber to this 
group for a few months and have found it very interesting and it has 
given me renewed enthusiasm as an owner of an LBC. (I've been away for 
awhile, but now I'm back....)
    But back to the matter at hand. There was a question regarding the 
placement of the turn signal flasher on a 78 MGB. Well I own a 77 MGB 
and have done extensive electrical work on it (is that redundant?).The 
77 and 78 are very close sisters and should be identical in most 
respects. The flasher is indeed behind the glove box just as Collin 
Brace said. All you need to do is open the glove box, remove the inner 
plastic shroud (held on at the top by two screws) and you will be 
staring at the bulkhead. Almost directly in front of you should run the 
main branch of the interior wiring harness. These wires either lead to 
the dashboard or center console. Mounted directly on the bulkhead (with 
brackets and screws) are two little metal boxes. One has a lite green 
wire with a brown tracer and a brown wire going into it. This I believe 
is the hazard flasher. The other has a lite green wire with a brown 
tracer and a green wire going into it. This is the turn signal flasher. 
Your setup should be very similar. Its been a while since I've looked 
so someone shout if I screwed this up.
    This is my first post so I hope I've made a decent contribution.

                                    Yours in the Spirit,
                                        Dave
