I've added a picture of the bracket I've welded up and fitted behind the steering column bearing mount. This relocates the shift cable further back in order to fit the flatshifter sensor between it and the flappy padles.

THe new Flatshifter manual states thet the sensor must be at the gearbox end of the shift cable. So since posting the above picture I've reloated the bracket to the right of the wheel towards the driver and removed the sensor.

Thats right, with a shifter you get full throttle clutchless up-shifts and , if you get the right model, clutchless down-shifts. Take a look at; Flatshifter link

Hi Gergely,

I did the Autosport Show last Sunday and visited the Trilogy stand. Unfortunately Andy, the chap that usually helps out with the inserts, wasn't at the show. I did speak to his brother Ian and left details of the inserts we are after. He said he would pass the request on and see what he could do so keep your fingers crossed.

Bassett, I think you wanted complete switches so hopefully the order codes helped you out?

yours, Clive

Ian reckoned Andy will be at Stonleigh so if you still need inserts then I'll try again there.

Bassett, Gergely,

I got a call from Andy at Trilogy this morning. He got me the "STOP" and rain (shower head & water symbol) switches. He's also going to get the four indicator arrow switch inserts you need. It'll be a few weeks but I'll let you know when they arrive.

Ours arrived from MNR over the weekend and the indicators now have the arrow direction signs rather than being blank - just need to wire them in now.
Cheers
Adam

Gergely,

Trilogy posted the Savage switches and inserts today including a pair of indicator inserts for you.

Do you still need them and if so where would you like them sent?

Hi, no thanks, we originally toyed with the idea, but have eventually decided to put two small micro switches on the steering wheel and create indicator electronics under the dash. It will be push once for 3 flashes, or push for 0,5 sec for constant flashing indicator, another press of either button will cancel it.
We got the idea from Chockymonster and a friend will create the electronics.
Cheers anyway!
Gergely

No problem, they arrived today and they were the wrong ones anyway! (dual arrow instead of single arrow).

If anyone on the forum wants them just let me know. They are the Savage inserts only (not the switch just the symbol insert). I have two, each has two arrows pointing left and right. They are the symbol you would use as indicator warning light (as opposed to indicator switch). They're free to a good home.

Hi Jacko,

Sorry for the delay, I missed your post somehow. Yes I do have a brake/handbrake warning light on the digital dash (comes as part of the dash). If you need one I think there is a Savage switch which can be used which has the warning symbol on it (they double up as warning lights). You should be able to get one from a Savage stockist or MNR.
