then the other? like 4231 ?

'69 KG directionals dead.
Is the directionals part of the emergency flashers circuit?
first the emergencies went out and now nothing. do they share the same
flasher relay unit?

Those dowel pins on the flywheel.
I was looking at this; and I wondered ; Why are those dowels so short.
It would seem like they should be long enough to "fill" the flywheel and
the crank . you know maybe another 3 mm in length....

A light horn?
I think it's more an AutoBahn thing, but I'm thinking of a light horn.
Any ideas?
It's to go on a '71 Ghia. I might add air horns too.

"Generator" light glows rather dimly
of course only while the car is running. turning on the lights doesn't
seem to make it brighter. Is this to be expected in a 42 y.o. type 1.
I just replaced the regulator with a Nueva
any ideas?
