I was at Demon Tweeks yesterday, I noticed the omex shift lights £132 plus the vat hey man Dick Turpin wore a mask, what happened to listening to the engine and using a rev counter, they will tell you when to change gear.

The idea is that when racing you don't have time to look at the rev counter, and the shift light is essentially a rev counter you see with your peripheral vision. For me though it was mostly an interesting DIY project.

How about a seriously lo-tech shift light?
Replace the tach needle with a tach 'disc' that has a hole in it or a pie segment missing. Mount an LED or two in the tacho face that are always on but are in the position of where you want to change gear. Rev up, hole in disc over LED. Shift. ;) Cheers Stot |
Audible(spelling ?) You hear it in F1 Shift with the beep,something less complicated than lights possibly with vol control and earpiece.

i run a white led on the dash (like indicator repeter) direct from my fidle ouput on my megasquirt.
works great hillclimbing also use it as a cold engine warning light. |
Regarding cost of shift lights commercially I was quoted £50 to get them made in China with printed pc board.
