    Substitute for Lucas 8FL turn signal flasher unit

    Can anyone recommend a substitute for the Lucas 8FL 12V 3.6A directional flasher? Mine has "35048A 1170" on it. I found something on ebay that looks close:
    Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Lucas SFB115 35049 8fl Flasher Unit Genuine at the best online prices at eBay! Free shipping for many products!


    But the technical information leaflet from Lucas says there were lots of different models of the 8FL depending on the needs of each model car. I need one for a 1970 IIA.

    The 1170 is the build date of the part, week 11 in 1970 . The EBay one has provision for the wattage of a 5W side repeater bulb as well as the front and rear . It would work but flash slightly slower than the correct one although the advert is contradictory , the picture shows a 35408 but the advert is for a 35409. I would contact them and confirm and say you want a 35408.
