Finally got the thing finished!

 

Took the water temp gauge out and replaced with new 60mm unit - plenty of room behind the facia. A dab or two of tiger seal and it's not going anywhere used the redundant bulb holder hole for cable access - I even adapted the old holder to support the wire (not shown in this picture).

 

 

Had to cut the wire and put a plug in line which I took from my breakers engine bay.Thanks to Groover for helping me with the wiring in at the ECU and also for supplying some nice 5 way led's. Top bloke!

 

 

 

 

Engine bay all tidied up. New adapted de-annodised and welded in place of old sender, then rounded of and re-polished, cables tucked away - yeah I know, I'm taking stealth way to seriously!

 

 

At first glance it's hard to notice!!! (also re- coloured my faux suede cowl with shoe dye as it was going green lol!)

 

 

Here's a closer look!

 

 

Finally - night time view. The gauge comes with a remote and had a dimmer facility so I can get it to match the brightness of the other dials.

 

 

I have now got boost, water temp, EGT, rpm, speed, fuel, mph, volt, AFR and oil pressure (the old one) all available with minimal interference to the oem look. I'm now looking to re- locate the fuel gauge to the old boost position if I can find a oem gauge that goes left to right. That will leave the right hand side hole for an oil temp and/or decent oil pressure gauge......

 

Any way, what do you think? :wink:

 

(just waiting for youtube to load a little video.....)

Is it finally in and working now... :)

 

Looking very good, and great finish as usual.

 

Hi Jerrick!!

 

I forgot to say - Masive thank you to you for sourcing the gauge in the first place!!:punk::pint:

 

I might be after a second one for oil temp/pressure......:blink:

 

Pop over next time you are in Camberley, I've found those bottom sections.
