I know very little about cars but am willing to learn. Weher on the z do I find the light circuit to tap into and what colour is it. Think I'll be ok with the vacuum supply just need light cable to find cheers

Is this the original dash boost gauge pipe? If so can I tee off this and do I need to use one of those pulse eliminator tee's or does an apexi guage have one built in cheers

I thought that one (the one you have arrowed was the bonnet cable release?) good job I asked anyone else shed any light?

the one ive arrowed goes into a plastic box with an electrical plug on it, i can asure you its not the bonnet. i got rid of mine all together

must be the one lower down I'm thinking of then. It's a bit dark out now may get a tourch and have a look in a bit. Found a few tubes around near there

earlier with cables and thought it was the actuator solenoid. That whey I though it was the one I have circled. I'm getting paranoid now. The balance bar ... is that the long black steel bar that goes across the engine at the back with a few pipes attatched to it?

I like simple suits me fine. Not so worried about illum yet as it is a white dial but would be nice. Might have a look around the green circle ignition when I get to feed the hose through bulkhead. cheers :duffer:

Tell me how you get on with the illumination to the ignition if you get round to it mate ok, as i was thinking about that idea also.
