I have not studied the TR6 wiring diagram or given the problem much
thought, but I simply intended to connect the buzzer between ground and the
little green indicator light in the speedo.

If this circuit is load sensitive and the buzzer disrupts the turn
indicators, I will remove the indicator bulb from the speedo.  The current
required by the buzzer should be similar to that of the indicator bulb.

If that does not fix it, I will have to get serious.  The really useful
information in the original message was the source of a suitable buzzer.

Incidentally, the buzzer that I bought was labelled 273-055A, so it must be
an improved version!  Also, I do not intend to mute the buzzer with
electrical tape until I have heard it in operation for a while.
