Anyone ever dissemble a flasher?

I am wondering if anyone every refreshed a 4 way flasher or blinker "can" or if anyone can post as link to online photos of the "guts" of either.

Thanks,

I've done it on a turn signal unit, but not the gold-colored 4-way. Carefully un-crimp the shell and then you can remove the guts. At that point I have normally inserted new guts from off-the-shelf replacement flashers and re-crimped the original shall back on. Looks stock, works better....

Excellent idea... the flashes (turn and 4way) on this Z work intermittently so they need to be replaced or refreshed..

Ok, I thought I was the only one who would spend an afternoon trying to refresh or re-build a $1.79 part for the sake of originality.... Guess I'm not the only crazy person on the board with too much time on my hands after all.....

Now if you're doing it for the sake of learning how one works, that's a whole 'nother thing.

I will put a check mark by both of those options Jim.

This is one of those items that all Z owners need to have a back up on their shelves. Since all the turn signals - brake lights - warning flashers and all that stuff goes through these lights I have a couple extra..................that along with an extra combo unit or two as well.............you gotta love those old wiring systems!!
