Recently picked up this track based car, basically a finished car but some small improvement projects for me to do.

The car currently has a BMW shifter which works fine but doesn't quite feel right for a track car so while I'm in the USA for a couple of weeks I've picked up the following courtesy of Greg at Turbolamik US:

Can't wait to get home now to start the improvement projects.

Hi Gary,
I've made the mount for the shifter but haven't got round to the keypad yet, I hope to do some testing this week with it just loosely wired to get it working before deciding on final fit location.
The keypad is large however, I think the smaller version from Blink Marine with 15mm buttons would be better although there's only the choice of 4 or 6 buttons in the smaller format.

Hi Gary,
Just doing some testing tonight, I just have the DCT shifter connected and set position 8 of the rotary switch to engage park when the vehicle is stopped. I think I will leave it like this for a while and see how I get on, I like the clean installation without a load of additional buttons.
