Geezer Alert - By Pete Philips (Hearing aid wearer since 1983)
The turn signal device on my “4” emits a click I can hear perfectly, if I happen to be working under the dash when it is activated. The turn signal light is visible at night, if the moon and the stars are not shining brightly.  I saw a tip, some time ago, on the MOSS tip line suggesting the installation of a 12 volt “minibuzzer” (Radio Shack # 273-055).(If you cannot hear this you have no business being behind the wheel.) Unfortunately the wiring instructions were wrong but it’s really simple.      There are two wires coming from the buzzer. The red one goes to the center terminal on the turn signal switch and the black one goes to ground. Just mount the buzzer up under the dash next to the sending unit. All this takes about 15 minutes if you are really inflexible.  No longer will you be tooling down the road with the signal flashing continuously.

A voltmeter is to an ammeter as a television is to a radio. If you want to know what’s going on with your charging system, want to make your car less of a fire hazard (by routing a whole bunch of current out of the cockpit) and/or want to go to more charging capacity safely, then lose that Stone Age ammeter and go for a voltmeter.  OK, OK it is not original. The picture shows that the change needed be a glaring one. (Following Dean’s advice I bought a used TR6 voltmeter and swapped the bezel for the one on my old arcing original. Had Dean not mentioned that the needle direction is opposite the other gauges, I probably would not have known it to this day.) This is a simple install since essentially the wiring involves going to each battery post. Carefully ridding yourself of the hot wires to the ammeter is tougher than the wiring of the voltmeter.
 

The last time I bought Locktite, my wallet puckered up like it had drawn deeply on a lemon. I was reminded of an article I’d read years ago suggesting 3-M Weather-Stripping Cement as an alternative.  I grant you I would not use this on engine internals yet on body and trim items it works great. It even works with, you guessed it, weather-stripping.
