Chris G Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 A couple of people at the Cambridge Treasure hunt this evening were pondering using the curved style unit and I promised that I'd put up a link to some templates so you can try them for size. As promised you can find the PDF file here www.g2.nu/chris/misc/shiflights/cutouts.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frying Pan Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Link to the cutout PDF here Very impressed by the unit and the responsiveness of the maker. Guy See some pictures of the build here. 10000 miles completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris G Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Just by way of an update we've now got 15 orders for shiftlights and I note that Fluke are going to start selling the shift-i unit for 99.99+vat, details on their website here To recap, the bulk buy price is 72 pounds all in and at this point I just need an email to chris@g2.nu saying whether you want the straight or curved style ASAP if you want to get in on the deal. This is the last bulk buy of the shiftlights that I'm organising so after this one closes you will be best off going to fluke to get hold of them.

Chris G Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Latest update: The call for payments has now gone out. If you wanted to get in on the bulk buy and haven't received an email from me please let me know ASAP. If you've been thinking about a shiftlight but haven't so far made up your mind then you still have until the 23rd July to make your mind up and get payment to me, email me privately for details of how to do that (pay that is, I can't help you make up your mind :-) ).

MartinWoodham Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I've finally got around to installing the shift-i shiftlights, and I'm very, very pleased with the results. It's a doddle to install (three wires), and the programming is straightforward. Upper and lower shift points are manually settable (to any value you want), there is a choice of 6 or so shift patterns - dot, bar, either with red lights flashing, or with all lights flashing, even a 'both sides' mode where the bar starts from either end and meets in the middle.. Plus you can set it to monitor battery voltage, or just give volts on ignition-on, and revert to shift mode 3 sec after cranking. I didn't have to tweak any settings at all, other than the shift points, using the spare tacho connection under the dash (car is EU3 K-series 1600) Its a cracking little unit, looks great and does exactly what it says on the tin, beautifully. And for £72 bulk buy price. Even at the £99 FLuke are charging it's a steal. Many thanks to Chris G for organising and to the Aussie dude who makes them! 😬 😬 😬 Martin Aero'd Roadsports B with a garage slowly filling up with upgrade parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shn7 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Martin, Wholeheartedly agree. Superb unit and so simple to install. The only thing I needed to change was the sensitivity which was preset to 6 and needed to be at 4 to prevent flicker with my EU2 1.8K 😬. They are especially good when you get out on track. Steve.

Myles Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 I find the battery-level indication (esp. on cranking) to be very reassuring too. I haven't attempted to calibrate it, but I've learnt the normal behaviour and it gives me something to watch out for. 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester Racing 7s Equipe™ 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philwaters Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Yep - really good 😬 😬 😬 😬 *tongue* hehehehe - I think that's the scheme, I've not had them all lit up yet Just a shame my new planned dash means I don't need it now - Doh. 🙆🏻 Phil Waters Edited by - philwaters on 3 Oct 2006 19:51:42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard H Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hi Guys, Just got mine direct from the colonies for for £76 and no import duty Can anyone supply the pinout for my tacho 🤔 (it's a 2003 EU3 with standard "Caterham" branded instruments) I assume that there should be +12V, GND and a Tacho pulse all on that connector. Cheers, Richard..................... Photos here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shn7 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Richard, Make it simpler than worrying about pin outs. 1 - Connect positive to a terminal on the back of the ignition switch that comes live when key switched to on. 2 - Connect earth to r/h scuttle mounting point 3 - Connect signal to spare signal cable (white with black tracer) that is already in the loom (for Stack IIRC) and has a spade connector already waiting for you to plug into. This way you don't have to cut into any cabling 😬. Steve. Not forgetting Percy the Polar Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomGaval Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Richard, can you tell me where you orderd them from over here? Thanks Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard H Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Thanks Steve I had remembered that there was some "spare" wiring in that area Thanks for the info. Tom, I just ordered mine direct from the company in Australia via their website and paid using Paypal. A very neat little box turned up 6 days later and the UK taxman didn't even want a cut (must go and lie down in a dark room 😬) Cheers, Richard...................
