does anyone use a shift light on their old ford?

 

For my new engien i have installed a TIM rev counter into my air vent thats more accurate but to be honest i cant see the fooking thing...and someone mentioned to me 'if you have time to look at a rev counter then you arent pushing hard enough!' which does make sense to me

 

I was thinking about a shift light instead but they are a tad expensive:

does anyone use one?

Are they hard to fit?

Whats the best type to get and where?

 

i dont want one thats stuck with a rev counter. just a little box i can hide somewhere or fit where it wont stand out so well would be brilliant for me.

 

any ideas would help.

proably better to get one from burton or a shop m8

[antz]

i had a look in burtons but they all seem very very complex and very expensive!

 

if anyone has any info or the low down on how they work and the best one to go for then id love them forever in a none gay sense

Here are mine.

 

 

Built them with my own fair hands. They plug into the megasquirt, so if you ain't got one you can't use them!

[antz]

i like that

[Wessie]

i've got a big tell tale autometer guage, with a big red shift light on top, if u can't see it flash - you shouldnt be driving !

[antz]

i dont want a rev counter attached to it.

 

i just want a light or one of them sequential lights...

[razersedge]

or what about combined rev and shift light? these are just the first few i found i'm not saying there auto meter but they should be beter than a 30 year old rev counter and there all under £30 even the digital ones

cheers razersedge.

 

i had a look at them but i dotn really want any extra gauges stuck on ym dash. i had the 52mm tim one cos it fits in my air vent but i cant see it.

 

i like the idea of a small shift light or sequential box which i can stick to my steering cwl or somewhere that doesnt involve a hge rev counter

[razersedge]

dam you answered my question whilst i was searching on ebay what about the digital ones on the list they are a bout the size of a shift light

[antz]

no worries

 

if i wasnt trying to keep the standard looking inside i would of gone for one of them for ease but as im trying not to do any add ons that dont look out of place or obvious to anyone then they dont really fit
