It mounts the commonly used controls on the sterling wheel i.e. indicators. it looks like a usefully thing to me has any one seen any thing similar?

Reckon shoving a stalk is a damn' sight easier than fumbling for a button...

Yeah, similar. There are push buttons you can buy on mounts which are designed to affix to the spokes of a steering wheel, been around for a few years. But a modern stalk does seem better really - the one exception I can think of is the main beam which I reckon would work better on the wheel; but then driving a kit car in the dark is probably a fairly rare experience.

Personally I'd much rather have all this stuff on a stalk - that way I know where it is when I need it. On a track car it might be different as the wheel is rarely more than 90deg off straight-ahead & you don't need to find the indicators or the horn in a hurry, but for a road car, give me stalks every time.
