You know I've found that the standard round flasher units actually will fit
into the rectangular shaped bracket for the turn signals. The top of the
round units is held firmly in place by the bracket. For the warning flasher
under the hood I found a stock bracket for the round unit and just replaced
the rotted away rectangular one. I think I probably found the bracket at Pep
Boys, Kragans or Grand Auto.

Most of the Triumphs I've seen come with some sort of Lucas flasher which is
a small rectangular shape. This flasher typically fits into a bracket made
of springy steel. The bracket is held down by one screw or bolt and the
springiness holds the flasher in place with the terminals sticking out.
If you go to any auto parts store, the flashers they sell are typically
cylindrical in shape -- not rectangular. Do these cylindrical flashers fit
into similar brackets on the mass market cars? I have had no luck finding a
bracket from the store I bought the round flasher from. So I wonder if these
are readily obtained off a 75 parisienne or some other such car I'm likely
to find at a junk yard.
Any ideas?
(I can make the rectangular bracket fit but would rather have a round one if
they exist)
