For those that don't venture onto other forums..

For ages I've wanted to loose the stalks and fit all the required buttons onto the wheel.. Why? Dunno.. Just my desire..

I looked and looked but couldn't find a wheel with enough buttons..

So did my own home brew solution

Buttons now do indicators, main beam flash, single wipe, washer jets, cruise control, shift lights on/off

I'm fitting auto head lights and auto wipers.. With manual overide on dash for MOT etc

The indicators ain't self cancelling anymore so fitted a motorbike module to get round that..

Also fitted an EPAS kill switch to turn power steering off

Along the top are sequential shift lights

Not everyone's cuppa I know.. But I love it

Shift lights are switchable for obvious reason

Small LEDs are 5mm. Big one 10mm

Allan,

as you stated its not everybody's cup of tea, however I like it!

TB

There are a growing number of stalkless new cars..

Ferrari's, atom, Radical SR3 etc..

If I don't like if in the future I can always refit the stalks

I personaly wouldnt like all the lights in front of me - however I can't fault your enginuity and quality of work...

Have to say i look forward to each next installment of the built as it is full of great mechanical information and modifications, and I know there will be bits I love and want to copy!

Great job!

Excellent

How are you getting round the airbag regs?

What air bag??

No air bag... No SRS lights.. No record of my car ever having had an air bag..

Not there.. No test..

Mr MOT man happy with that

good work DD, i see where this is going..

Good on you for trying new things, but I think I prefer the stalks.

I might prefer the stalks yet lol

Can always swap back

just thinking back, the Citroen BX went from non cancelling indicators switched on the dash, and slider controls for lights/wipers around about 1985, to conventional stalks by 1988 and the end of line models. (also the hydrolastic fun suspension)
having had both around that time, you did get used to it.
