Couldnt find anywhere suitable for the knocklink display so I thought I'd butcher the right hand side air vent! It seems to work well and IMO looks tidyer than under the ashtray. Has anyone else done this?

 

I believe some people have butchered the KnockLink box & placed the LEDs underneath the instrument binacle....

 

It will certainly be easier to see than the obligatory ashtray position!

 

good job - mine is in the slot where the ash tray is and really isnt visible unless i take my eyes well off the road!

 

tbh the ashtray pos (dip in my case) is ****e plain and simple.
and also dangerous.

 

I fitted one to a mates car there a few weeks ago! Looks good and fits well too!

 

Chrome,

your right m8 it is, which is why i'm trying to think of a better position. and easy tiger on the pissed off face

 

This is where I put mine. Sorry for the pic quality they were taken with my Nokia Mobile Phone with a mini Maglite as a flash ...

Not sure how to link-a-fy them..

Andy W,is that unit(ie with lamda readings) made by a company like that,or has it been put together from'butchered' parts.If the former,how much does it cost?

Many thanks,Deep.

 

This is my version


I used clear led's instead as I prefered the look of them to the standard ones

charlie; yhm

 

Chrome - have sent you an e-mail

 

Deep, it is (as far as I know) made with a butchered knock and lambda link. That is also just the std clock lifted with a unit that sits in the recess for the clock.

Charlie,

Do you not find the big red arrow a bit distracting when driving, I would have though that using a larger LED would be sufficient to indicate which was 'Big Red'

Andrew...

 

Charlie - your installation looks fab, really neat plus in good line of vision. Any tips on how you did this ?

 

AndrewC - LOL
For anyone else who wants to know: All I did was go to my local maplin electronics store (they are online as well) and buy two green, two yellow 5mm clear led's (I used the original knocklink red one) I then used about half a metre of 10 way flat cable, soldered the led's on to one end. I then removed the led's from the knocklink and soldered the cable onto the circuit board in place of them. The original knocklink box is stuck under my dash and the cable just runs up to the a-pillar. The led's were about £0.50 each and about 5p each for the led bezels (black surrounds) So total cost was about £2.50! (plus some heatshrink for the led legs)
