Theoretically, a model 550 should work, but my experience is that they don't
unless you rewire the indicator lamp on the dash.
You could try a Tridon EL13 though. It seemed to work at first, but failed
within a year.
On my TR3A, I wound up rewiring the dash lamp so a 550 would work, and it
lasted many years. The modification is simple; you just remove the wire for
the indicator lamp from where it's joined to the ground point, and connect
it to the ignition switch (white wire) instead.
Oddly enough, the TR3 has an old model 550 on it (Ideal brand), which works
fine. I tried substituting a Wagner 550 the other day, and it left the dash
lamp on all the time.
Best route is probably to just buy a proper flasher from one of the usual
suspects.
