  Now that's cool!   I love things like that.....simple, no moving parts, no
wires, no way for the warning device to malfunction and make it necessary to
find out what the heck is wrong with the warning device, too.

  I did similar with my racecar...whenever I did anything at all that made
the car "Not track ready"...first thing I did was tie a piece of survey tape
onto the steering wheel...when everything was 'checked off' my pre race
list, I would take off the tape...but never ever until I'd gone over that
pre race checklist.... Then, if I had to go away to a drivers meeting or my
pit neighbor needed me to help something...I would not 'forget' I'd been
interupted before torquing on the wheels or putting gas in or something dumb
like that...
