Re: 6 Volt flasher
Possible option to a box.
There is an electronic plug in flasher unit available in the states. Direct replacement for the thermal type. Much improved performance.
???
Guess the one I used was 12 volt.
Not sure if there is a 6 volt version.
Got the one I bought from NAPA.
I will check into it the next time I go there.

Re: 6 Volt flasher
This 6 volt "Electronic Flasher" has worked great for me for years for turn signals and I figured out a way to fairly simply also add a 4 Way-flasher function with just another wire and another switch (SPST). I used a Double Throw Double Pole (DPDT) Switch as the homemade turn signal controller. Also, it handles both Standard Filament Bulbs and LED's with no problem or hyper-flashing.

Re: 6 Volt flasher
Yes 6 Volts flashers are widely available in the motorbike world.
The one selected by Rob is perfect and very powerful.
I have used one in my jeep according to that wiring diagram. No problem so far.
I will just have to add a little electronic sounder linked to the flasher switch to avoid to forget the flash lights ON.
I'm using an antique flasher switch found on the dash of the jeep when I have started the restoration.

Re: 6 Volt flasher
Good idea, I have an old Sparton lever switch the previous owner installed. I've been thinking about adding on lights and reinstalling it again.

Re: 6 Volt flasher
In the meantime, as I always forget to switch the flasher OFF after turning, I have added a piezoelectric buzzer/clicker.
This can be done by adding two general purpose Schottky diodes and a buzzer (6V or 12V)
The diodes are used to power the buzzer for the left or right side.
I have attached the buzzer on the back of the dashboard with a double sided tape. No hole .
My buzzer can be powered from 5V to 18V.
Here is the same wiring diagram with the added buzzer.
Now a very short high pitch "canari" sound reminds me to switch the turn signal off.
