EP26 flasher relay is generally available and will light bulbs as well as LEDs just fine. It does need the C2 pin connected inside. It's a straightforward mod if you're handy with a solder iron. If not, I resell EP26 for the 914 with the mod done.

Thanks Sixer for the flasher cube I replaced it and still no go … so luckily I got one locally and the silver cube next to it that clips in and all it well now. I still don’t know which one was at fault I’m not sure how to bench test these? Also the old silver flasher had 5 prongs and a jumper lead from 30 to 56 but the replacement only has 4 prong. Some day I will need an electrical lesson but my patience is limited Attached Image

You have a high low beam relay on the left and a turn signal relay on the right
