Planning to fit indicators to the model T, but don't want anything too modern

Picked up these on E Gay last week for £16, the last similar set I bid on went for £95

You can buy new VW 6 volt ones for £158 each

So these are 12v which I will rewind and convert to 6v

They are 1930's Lucas Semaphore Trafficators, a bit modern I know but needs must :

The yellow plastic ends are only £4 each if you know where to go :

Going to strip them down, rewind the coils, replace the 12v bulbs with 6v flashing LED's and buy new yellow ends and chrome strips
