Ditto to that, for $5.95 I got a '550' flasher unit from Kragen and stuck
its guts into the Lucas flasher can and rerolled the lip like you did Frank.
I put it in the Austin and works like a charm. As you say, its best to
drill and tap the connector holes before you crimp it into the can. I
didn't test it first but I guess I got lucky.
Looks original, works great and under $6! Anything left to say?
