Will,
I ran my flasher switch in parallel to the floor switch. I just tapped off the
connectors to the floor switch next to the steering column and ran a
constant hot lead to one side of the switch, that way I am just temporarilly
closing the existing highbeam circuit. No need for any relays and not much
wiring involved. I get to keep my floor switch for highway driving as needed
and it still flashes with the lights off, since it has it's own power.

I just recently bought a turn signal switch with flasher on epay. Was
advertized as Lucas NOS for Alpine and Tiger. Lucas P/N is 34721. After
Bill's post I decided I had better measure the switch. Dimension across the
yoke is about 1.62 inches. Looks about right. Better check it on the car
before I get too serious about my flasher project. Horn on my 1A works OK
so I'm planning to use the switch as a flasher - and then some. Plan is to
make it flash if the lights are off and to make it toggle between hi beam
and lo beam if lights are on. To that end I have already bought some of the
very finest 12V relays (about $10.00 for a set of five on epay - made in
China). I'll only need two relays for the job; the rest will be solid-state
magic. Shouldn't need the floor switch any more after the conversion but
will probably leave it where it is so things look correct.

My Alpine Parts list shows the Rootes part #1223742 for the headlamp
flasher and there is a 2nd number at the end; 34719A. I believe 34719A is
a Lucas number.
