RE: By-pass the overdrive relay?

Simon,

I put an overdrive in my standard class (no OD) BT7 10 years ago, and never
installed a relay.  Just match RPMs on disengagement or use the clutch.
Gearshift lock-out still works.  Because I don't use a relay, I've gone a
step further and bypassed the entire throttle linkage and replaced it with a
bicycle cable.  Both throttle and OD are working great.
