Column mounted shift indicator WAY MODIFIED

problem: My light for the column gear indicator has been out since I've owned this truck. Today I went to find out why?

One PO, somehow broke the pointer housing off at the single screw, Then tried to glue the darn thing back on. Off comes the screw, & housing in glue two incrusted pieces... Dilemma: Big small hole- not worth dropping 20+$$ on for a new pointer & fiberoptic cable .

Solution: make my own ,.. but what design..
after an hour going thru small boxes of all kinds of cool stuff WE all save for no reason, I came across a this Hot wheels truck..
'Holy Batman ' - this is it !..
*sand tires flat, drill hole, test fit, add rear spacer so when attached w/single screw - truck is not doing a wheelie, remove, and w/3/8 bit drill hole in cab for LIGHT...
Here's the finished gear indicator , awaiting a small micro bulb...
LOL , really amusing to drive it now !
