Default MK1 2.4

Circa 1956, replacing the engine/light instrument loom.
I have the wiring in the loom for front indicators ( blinkers USA peeps ). But I don't have link harness.

The rear wiring flashes the stop lights to act as an indicator.

Help on the front, were they fitted, did the side lights flash.

The lights in the front are twin filament Lucas 380 lamps, one filament for the side light and one for the flasher.

Similar setup to the rear, but one filament is the side light and the other is both stop and flasher.

Do you have a wiring diagram ?

Hi Tilley, yes I have a Haynes manual showing the wire colours, so I'm ok there.
Are the lamps earthed through the lamp housing ? The connector on the back is a 2 pin bullet style.
