Martin H Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Bloody hell! I hope that was a trackday and not a race! I thought it was compulsory to have an indicator going in any form of competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonycaterham Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Had same problem with kept switching indicator on whilst competing, so just moved switch to between oil and water guages. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DohNut Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 I see no reason why you should not get a motorcycle type one. A thumb switch to slide to the left or right and press down in the center of the slider to cancell. I think that that one of the v expensive specials had a button setup working on this theory but it was probably bespoke. Whereas the bike swich would cost a fiver.

elie boone Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Put a brighter bulb in the control lamp on the dashboard or a bigger one. Does'nt some motorbikes got some self canceling indicators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Smith Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Why not build yourself an audible alarm as per Sevenup (Steve Motts? web site) downloads. Very easy and works well. I made mine so loud I can hear it changeing lanes on the motorway at over *** miles/hour with earplugs in. Only problem is you feel a right t*t sitting in a traffic queue in town with the indicator going. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooby dooby doo Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 just remove the switch when on track? cost: zero. time to do it: 10 seconds... (unscrew the ring on the front of the switch and poke it back through the hole) Dave Hooper - dmch2@lineone.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelspeed Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Every time I dump the clutch the flasher unit pops itself out of the relay block and sits in the passenger footwell. Worried me the first time in case it was one of the more important relays, fuel pump, coil supply etc. When it kept going I decided it probably wasn't. Even if your's is better secured removing it by hand would be much easier than taking the switch out and has exactly the same effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Walker Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Charlie7, Just looking through Vehicle Wiring Products mail order catalogue and they have a couple of different styles of illuminated On/Off/On toggle switchs. I'm not sure if they 'illuminate' when the switch is in either of the 'On' positions. If they do then it might be a solution.

Grim Reaper Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 I am currently trying to make a circuit to allow push button indicators to be mounted on the steering wheel.press once to start,press again to stop or leave alone and they will cancel in 10 seconds.press the other side whilst one side is on and they cancel one and start the other. The theory is all done,just need the components and a bit of circuit board fabrication. The Meaning of Life Part VII;Death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 I've fitted a switch from VWP recently. its much stiffer, shorter and is now shielded by a bike speedo. so it looks less like a crap plastic thing and is NEVER going to get knocked on accidentally. I still frequently forget to cancel it though ❗ cost? about 3 quid. HOOPY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Payne Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Why not just remove the flasher unit when on track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
