Title: shifting indicator
Post by: Vern Houseman on December 30, 2008, 02:17:01 pm: what options are out there for shift indicators ?
Title: Re: shifting indicator
Post by: gramps05 on December 30, 2008, 05:49:25 pm: None ,you have to use 600's.

Post by: bback58 on December 30, 2008, 10:58:11 pm: I saw an older car that had a gear indicator that wasn't digital but had a different light for each gear. I'm guessing that was an older version that came from 600. The gear indicator is expensive, but is the only gauge that I would put in a new car. It isn't necessary, but is really nice to have.

Post by: justfreaky on January 15, 2009, 06:49:33 pm: Who has the info about how many wires down by the shift linkage on a Legends car?

What parts of the wiring harness do these LEDs hook to?

Steve
Title: Re: shifting indicator
Post by: apm motorsports on January 15, 2009, 07:21:47 pm: the leds are mounted 0n a alum plate with a fuse holder below them. I use a 6 cond cable solder to the leds hot guled in place. the cable is run thru the fire wall 1/4 grommet. included will be a female and male ,radio shack 6 pin sockets you will have to solder the pins . then match the wire color for color very easy to do . the indicators are neg ground so you just have to connect the red pos wire from the fuse holder to the pos block or the switch side of the ing switch. Thanks ,you can make these youself email me I will give you my phone number and tell you how .
Title: Re: shifting indicator
Post by: justfreaky on January 15, 2009, 07:27:02 pm: What engine(s) have you connected these to?
What I'm getting at; Legends car wiring harnesses are VERY basic. A starting system and a charging system... That's about it. So I am just curious as to what wires the system would hook to?

Thanks,

Steve

Title: Re: shifting indicator
Post by: Vern Houseman on January 15, 2009, 09:11:58 pm: the 6 wire plate is that something that came on factory bikes ?
Title: Re: shifting indicator
Post by: justfreaky on January 15, 2009, 09:34:49 pm: No. The stock one is single wire for the neutral light.
I'm trying to locate a part# for the 6 wire part.

Steve
Title: Re: shifting indicator
Post by: jgrimracing on January 15, 2009, 10:30:56 pm: Steve,
Do you think it would be the part that comes with 600's indicator?
Title: Re: shifting indicator
Post by: justfreaky on January 15, 2009, 10:45:37 pm: Yes, it is. The gear indicator comes as a kit from 600 Racing.

This should be it 955X00X331 @79.95
Title: Re: shifting indicator
Post by: justfreaky on January 16, 2009, 05:17:51 am: DanH,

This is the part# for the 6 wire sensor unit that goes in the transmission to connect to the gear indicator gauge?
Also, What is the correct name for that part?

Thank You,

Steve

Thats the one its called a gear indicator plate. I will be getting these made at somepoint this year as the 600 racing part is very fragile and the screw holes are prone to snapping.
Title: Re: shifting indicator
Post by: justfreaky on January 16, 2009, 09:26:42 pm: Thank You Dan!

I appreciate the info!!!
PM me about these ones you are going to have made. I would be interested.

When in doubt, Get your info from outside the USA. :D

Steve
Title: Re: shifting indicator
Post by: DanH on January 17, 2009, 08:03:37 am: Yeah iv got to do a bit of testing with it to see what material works best.

No countersunk holes in this as this is what i think makes them break.
Title: Re: shifting indicator
Post by: Vern Houseman on January 17, 2009, 09:15:14 am: what are your plans ? making these things ? if so how much longer you think it will take ? im interested.
Title: Re: shifting indicator
Post by: justfreaky on January 17, 2009, 12:14:46 pm: Looks good Dan!
I don't have any idea what type of material... Maybe some kind of polyurethane ? Don't know how well that stuff machines.
I'm interested to see what you come up with. Thanks for posting the pic of your design!

Im going to get one made on a 3D printer the week after next, then ill check that in an engine to see if that works ok then do a small production run.

Timewise I reckon 3 weeks till i get a finished example in plastic.

Post by: justfreaky on January 19, 2009, 12:19:51 am: Simple and straight up.
I guess that is what the older systems were.
Thanks for posting the pic!
