Knock link...adding a warning tone
as above, anyone added an audible warning device to their knocklink for when it lights the red LED?
Cheers,
Ian

Hopefully, you'll never get the opportunity to hear it!

I fitted my LEDs into my column pod with tails on them, Anything other than the power light cant go un-noticed.
Mount it in the right place and you wont need an audiable alert, Red I would imagine when driving would be nothing short of blinding.

Knocklinks are dated now.
Have you seen the KS3 Knock Analyser? KS-3 Knock Analyser - Knock Detection System. Complete Kit - Knock Sensor Included.
Much more advanced and has built in audible alarm.
As used by many of the tuners on here.
Great piece of kit.

I did a degree in electronics in my youth and I seem to remember a project a long time ago where I wired a small piezo buzzer (low drain) in parallel with a LED so when the lamp came on the buzzer sounded. You could get a +V trigger from the LED pin to fire off a remote buzzer if required (would need some basic electronic circuit knowledge or a maplin-style ready made "buzz when I see +V" relay driven component and a soldering iron).
Sure it could be done very easily.
Unfortunately I'd need something a little louder in my scoob to hear it over the turbo

When you say you have mounted the LEDs inside the clock cowl, does this mean they are facing down and you can see the side of the LEDs rather than front on?.
I view mine end on and no matter how fast you are pressing on there is no way in hell you could miss the amber or red.
