I replaced the flasher and the light on the column is still not flashing . I removed the switching unit and reinstalled it making sure it is grounded and it is. Tomorrow I will open the switch up and check for evidence of corrosion in the bulb socket. This has got me baffled for what I thought...

Depressing the clutch on my Model A is becoming more difficult because of nerve damage in my foot. I am wondering (Asking) if anyone is aware of some type of assist that I might get that lessen the pressure required to depress the clutch. At present I have the standard 'A' clutch and pressure...
