    Run signals. If your trying to find out to run them or not then I say run them. You don't need huge lights or nothing, get something about 3 inches in diameter in LED and put them in a nice place. No point in using hand signals and all that crap just because you dont want to use turn signals and think it will be cleaner or easier to not have to wire them. Get some, put them on and be done with it.

    If you wan't something done right, then you have to do it yourself!

    Thumbs up

     



    I quite agree with Shawn and Brian. What I've used in the past are truck riding lights, about one and a half inches long by about half an inch wide, they're unobtrusive (not in-your-face,) are surprisingly bright, and cheap as chips.
    Great thread Itoldyouso, I'm really enjoying it, and am always looking forward to the next instalment. Thank-you.

    Thanks John, and all the others who gave input into this turnsignal thing. You are all right, and yesterday I picked up a three-way switch and flasher and plan to build them into the dash today when I go to the shop. I thought it over, and we always preach safety, so why should I be above that mysellf? I have a couple of nice little bullet lights for the front, and will dig around in my stash to see what I can come up with for the rear. I have some time on the lights, as I won't be to that stage for a while yet.

    Today I am going to try to wrap up the dash wiring so I can slip the body back on and do some other tasks, like the steering box and brake pedal.

    Thanks again to everybody for all the great ideas and suggestions.
