Peyote had what looked like an aftermarket turn signal switch mounted so you
could reach it with your hands on the wheel. It struck me as a good way to
shift the overdrive, but I've never had one, so it's somewhere in my junk
boxes. If you're going to the Spring Sprints this weekend I can try to find
it for you.

I did this for a while with just a good toggle switch in a small piece of
aluminum taped to the lever.  Worked fine, but I found there were times I
didn't want or couldn't  take my hands off the wheel and still wanted to
change the OD position so I moved it back to the dash on the left with a
stalk I could reach with finger tips  and hand still on the wheel.

Sometimes you also can' t remember if you are in OD or not, neat to just
peek over by the wheel instead of having to look down at the lever or feel
around for the toggle position. It's surprising how many times you don't
believe your own finger tips and look anyway. But, try it , might work just
fine for you.

  I am assembling a racing TR5 with OD.  Want to put the OD switch on the
  gearshift lever.  Does anyone have a recommendation on what is the best
way
  to do this?  Did any Triumphs come this way?
  Thanks,
  Chuck
