Hi
the BMC one Doesn't really look that that one...

I have Never ever seen an SWF blinker arm like that...
would have been a very early option... accessory..

remember that USA beetles had BLINKERS from 1955>..

BMC-Leyland Minis had a light in the end that flashes...
it would have been made by LUCAS.. England..
I think most of the BMC-Leyland cars with blinkers had them..
Would be hard to find now...

how it was attached to the steering column, I don't know..
could be similar..?? as Miinis were very basic cars...

Why do You want one of these when all beetles had the trafficator or blinker arm??

Well, the common ones.. at least..

there were strap type accessory blinker arms fitted to some Australian cars in the 50s..
very similar.. not sure who made them.. Hella???

SWF and Hella ones come up all the time not that rare at all 🙄

Always amazes me on this site how often those that spruik the most seem to know the least

Heres two to whet your appetite. Although not exactly the same as the one in your pic, I saw a couple on there that are used the same as your pic. Keep a look out on thesamba always a few on there 😉

Thats right thats why if you want something and you can find it there then you buy it. Thats how it works, thats why they're not that rare.
Yeah I've seen plenty actually.

Hey mate if by the ugly cubic thing you mean the where the terminal block is (wires attach) hould be the same as stock the one in pic is more square cut where it mounts to steering column but otherwise looks pretty much the same as the stock unit.

What year bug are you fitting it to?
You wont get one that you can't see the terminal block, it has to connect somewhere? Not quite sure what you mean by that?
If you mean so you cant see the internals you shouldn't, it'll look much the same as what you have now if thats what you mean?

Oh and I'm not selling because I just found out they're Uber rare 🙄

I thought the oem ones are flat so there is no terminal block.

Anyone have a pic of one installed?
