Here is a question for the gurus: Have any Tigers ever been fitted from the
factory with a headlamp flashing feature operated by the turn signal stalk?
This is mentioned under the Electrical Section p26 of the Workshop Manual as
Headlamp flasher switch (if fitted) but does not appear in the wiring diagram
as far as I can tell.
Question two: Has the diameter of the steering column been changed over the
life of the design?
My Mk1 was outside for a while in Hermosa Beach and the chrome suffered,
including the turn signal stalk (Chromed on B9472703).
I had heard somewhere that the Volvo switch was interchangeable and had the
headlamp flash feature, so I have been looking for such a switch. At SUNI Doug
Jennings had a switch with that feature and 6 wires coming out instead of 4.
It needed repair with the SS kit, but I bought it and fixed it. However when I
tried the install it would not fit because the shaft diameter in my car is
1.65" and the new switch uses a different die casting designed to go over a
shafy about 1.3" diameter. The stalk was plastic coated but I cut off the
plastic and polished the metal shaft to make it more original looking.
