I posted this up on MOCGB last year, hope it's of use to some of you classic owners....


I have just made myself a pair of reversicators that work perfectly. I bought a pair of back up lights and then drilled around the the bulb holder with a drill bit that also saws as well as drills. I then 'drilled' out the whole of the back of the unit so that you are left with a large hole in which you can fit 2 bulbs.
I have a pair of 2 terminal bulb holders that I picked up at a car jumble sale and used one of these for the reverse light whilst the original holder was kept as the indicator.
To stop water getting in through the rear of the unit I cut a length of vacuum cleaner pipe and taped it to the rear of the unit using non-sticky harness tape secured with gaffer tape.
The bulbs do sit very close to each other so I made sure that there was enough slack in the length of the leads so that I can pull the bulb holders out of the unit to change the bulbs.
