With FE some owners fitted up the correct GMH package while others fitted up aftermarket blinkers, these were usually operated via a column mounted lever or in some cases a switch on the dash I have an FC panelvan that has no blinkers that was registered up until the 70's, not sure about the requirements now in the different states or where you are but if you want originality, leave it as is. It's seldom you see them still un fitted.

For all that it looks pretty good Blok, good luck with it. Cheers John Title: Re: indicator leaver Post by: RET on January 02, 2010, 12:47:40 AM Agreed: shame about the sills and floor, because the patina on the rest of it is magnificent.
