[Healeys] - OD Indication

I’d be very interested to see what you have put together.  I’ve just a simple light that shows when the OD should be ON, but I very much like your idea of flashing in the “waiting for kickdown” mode.

 

I put my light on a wood panel I put in place of the speaker grille (along with three extra toggle switches) rather than the washer button.

Maybe of interest to some ...

I have never used the washer in my BJ8.

So, used that hole to install a 5/8 red led indicator light.

This light now indicates solid red for OD engaged, and flashing red to show engaged but "waiting for kick down". Off after releasing the kick down latch circuit.

I find it quite useful - the flashing "waiting for kick down" in particular is a good driving reminder.

The circuit I cobbled together uses 2 small boards sandwiched together and ptp wiring all in a small plastic enclosure. All wiring is done under the dash; fused, and fully reversible and no original wiring molestation. 

If of interest contact me for circuit and details.

Would work on all of our cars with a suitable LED location.

P.S. Does anyone know max file size ? Tried to post a few pix but gets rejected.
