Didn't some of the UK-spec Spits have a electrical gizmo box that
would dim the turn signals and brake lights when the headlights were on?

Richard,
Correct. I missed both the UK and Mk IV part of the original email. US
Spec 1500 shared a flasher unit. The Hazard switch controls how the
flasher is powered and makes troubleshooting a bit tricky and the turn
signal unreliable. You Brits got a lot better Spitfire than we did in
the U

Possibly on your car, but definitely not on mine (1978 UK-spec 1500). There
are different electrical layouts not just for different models, but
sometimes there are changes within a particular model, and c
Not quite sure about that. I am currently installing a new wiring harness in
my Spit, and I am having a heck of a time finding a hazard relay flasher
unit, although I think I've finally tracked one down through British Wiring (!!!).
The flasher unit was originally installed on the firewall adj

That's probably it. Mine was there (or the RHD equivalent), but had stopped
working, so my DPO had replaced it and the replacement was just hanging
about dangling on the end of the wires stuffed up behind the dash.
It's possible, however, that what you've found is the hazard light flasher
unit.
If this is down next to the choke (where mine is on a '76) then that's it. Should
be a metal bracket that the unit simply pushes into. Two leads sounds correct
(light-green/slate & light-green/brown at least that's the wiring colours on the
later cars according to the diagrams).

I'm trying to diagnose why my turning signals aren't working and I'm trying
to find
the turning signal flasher unit. I have a LH drive 1972 Spit Mark IV.
It looks like when I pull back the LH fascia (speedo/tach side) that the
unit
is to the right of the tach (looking at it) and down and is hooked
