Step 2Switch it on...
Take your momentary switch and solder wires to the 2 terminals.
I used some heat shrink tubing to enclose the finished end.
We will be modifying the LEFT hand glove. This is normally the hand you use for manual turn signals.
Try the glove on and move your thumb to see where it will press against a switch mounted on the side of your index finger. Mark or make note of that spot.
Take a piece of tape and punch out a hole where the switch will be mounted in the center. This will serve to reinforce the fabric around the switch.
Since the switch is meant to be mounted through a hole in something like sheet metal in a face panel, I just cut a piece of cardboard to act as the mounting panel for the switch. There is a mounting nut that goes on the barrel of the switch and now it has something to grab onto.
Poke a hole in the fabric and cut it large enough just for the switch body to pass through. Cover with more tape to permanently fix the switch to the glove. You can cut slits in the tape to help it conform to the shape of the hand. Overlap the tape at those points.
The flasher has a belt hook attached to the back so we will use that to mount the flasher. With your hand in the glove, find the position where it will be mounted flat on the back of your hand.
Place a piece of tape there to reinforce the hole that we will cut so you can "clip" the flasher in. Cut a slit to insert the flasher's belt clip. Pass the switch wire through for the next step.
