Felder industries seems to know what to do, so get the team working!
I think it would be a great mod for Eric, save the trouble of going back and forth to exhaust to listen for rumble.
Alternately, how about a little gadget that fits over the LED and converts the light into an audible tone? A battery powered thing, stick on.
Unfortunately the Bell Group of companies has very limited electronics capacity. But no shortage of boffo ideas :-)
