Hazard Lights on '67 TC?

My early 2000TC does not have Hazard Lights - but I wish it did!
I've tried to find info in this section of the forum on retro-fitting them, preferably incorporating them into the existing set-up, but without success.
I'm sure someone has done it - can anyone point me to a relevant post, or alternatively advise me on how to go about it?

Thanks

You can get the individual parts as used on the later cars and wire those in yourself, or buy a complete kit similar to this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SFB300-CLASSI ... 462f0a9f14

Which contains the switch and flasher unit, as well as fitting and wiring instructions. I'm sure there will be other cheaper/better kits around but the above was the first that came to hand.
 
Someone over on the P5 forum has recently fitted a hazard flasher set up that might be a useful thread to read. It'll give you an idea of the principles involved and some of the components you'll need.

Fitting Hazards to a P5

My '66 car doesn't have them either so I carry 2 warning triangles and one of those rechargeable strobe flasher lights like this

I'll have a peek in some of the boxes, hazards were installed on NADA cars starting late 67/ early 68. It's a second flasher unit and a toggle switch and lamp at the left of the dash. I'll make you an offer you can't refuse if I can find one complete enough. Of course, you'll have to deal with fitting it to the opposite side of the dash cause you guys have it backwards :mrgreen:

Thanks Harvey & Dave, you've pointed me in the right direction - there were circuit diagrams that were instructive.

Vern - always a sucker for an offer! (and I can stand in front of a mirror and look at the instructions over my shoulder, that way it should be easy for a RHD man to understand!)

There are basically two methods to do this.

The method outlined above is basically that adopted by the factory in later P6s. It uses a second flasher relay and a 6-terminal hazard switch. The reason this is necessary is because the electromechanical flasher itself uses the lamps as a load which sets the flash frequency, so obviously it can't flash 4 bulbs at the rate same as it can two.

The other method is to swap the relay for a modern electronic one which will not change frequency. You then only need a double pole switch to activate the flasher and connect the left and right indicator together. This is what I did.
 
Just a follow up. I haven't forgotten, I just have a lot of boxes. None marked in any helpful way, and so far I haven't found "the box".

Thanks Vern,

If you do turn one up it'll be appreciated!

Our winters ain't like your winters, but I'm still not rushing to work on the car out of doors at the moment!

Regards - Happy New Year
