Do the indicators need to self cancel for SVA?
As above really? I want to remove everything from the sierra column but want to know if I'll then need to sort out self cancelling indicators
which will probably mean I won't bother.

No i dont think they do. I removed all the switch gear from my column and have a three position switch instead which obviously does not self cancel.

i don't think so either - likewise for MOT - at MOT you can't test unless you went round a corner!
people have got 7's with a toggle switch.
BUT your must have a telltale to show the indicators are on - either visual i.e. lamp or aural i.e. beeper. I would recommend former
as you probably won't hear a beeper in a 7 and lamps weigh less.

No self-cancelling needed.
Some people just use three position toggle switches.
As said, a tell-tale is necessary (though you can have one lamp for "indicators" ie you don't need a seperate L and R lamp)....

You can get self canceling indicator switches that cancel after a set time but they tend to be quite ugly.

I used a signal dynamics unit.
It has timers depending on how long you press the indicator switch for, they cancel if you press the button again or if you press the opposite
indicator button.
Really easy to wire up, one press of the indicator = lane change flash.
two second press of the indicator = waiting at junction to turn flash
Both indicators together = constant hazards
My indicator switches are on the steering wheel as small push buttons.
