I've been indicating with hand signals as well as the flashing brake lights in my FEs for quite a few years now, and never had a close call since getting into that habit.
 
I agree that many drivers on the road these days don't recognise the flashing brake-lights immediately as being indicators, but a hand out the window always seems to get noticed.
 

Most of us under 40 don't recognise hand signals either, however if you chose to also wear a hat ( fedora or trilby etc)RET then I would instinctively provide you a wide berth. ;D ;D ;D

I may be stating the bleeding obvious, but make sure you use the 6 cylinder shaft from another Aussie 4 speed and not from a 3 speed box. I think I recall seeing someone do this about 20 years ago. The shaft seemed to fit but the tooth(teeth?) count was different...

... no need to explain what happened when the clutch was first let out..
