Hi Gang.... I'm going to be fitting a knocklink Sensor soon and was wondering how you all have them fitted in the car... mine will be going into a classic but new age pics are welcome to

I know that there are a few alternatives for fitting... Simply just have it on the dash, maybe fix an extension on for the LED's to be mounted through drilled holes or even drop it in the heater vent
I'm also interested to see what the most user friendly position is to as I don't want to have it away from eyeline so to speak.

Cheers
Simon

 

There's some really good examples on here. Quite innovative approached too - do a search

I use the widely used stick it down near the gear stick and never quite get around to moving it method

 

what is a knocklink thingy ?? yes i do own a scoob .yes it modded slighlty .nope all done before i brought it .


iam a scooby mod virgin.does it make any difference .most importantly does it stop me from blowing mine up .as i seen posted some where about a bloke in a red scooby in pitsea he drives it like he stole it .well mine not stolen .but i race anything that gives us a try and race some that should blow me out the water

 

Reading that makes me dizzy

 

Heres mine...



Just take cover off box,use as a template to drill holes,turn the box over and stick it down...easy!
Would like to take credit for this way of doing it,but was taken from scoobynet user a while back,cant remember user name.....

 

Here is my Knock link with Lambda link (Type R) in the upper din slot with a little bit of carbon squeezed in the middle.

I was a bit worried about having them so low down at first but I can see them well enough for my liking.

Also note the cheeky Defi Control unit where the cup holder used to be.

All done my Matt at TSL motorsport.

 

here's one behind the air vents

 

Excellent cheers guys.... some tidy installs there

Gives me something to think about.... I'm considering getting a row of extension LED's so I can mount them where I like that way the knocklink remains easily removable for the future.

 

hi m8, heres mine from the classic i had.

you can just see the leds in the photo, just above the speedo. can easily be seen when driving.

Would that be me by any chance?

 

Yes,there was me worrying about soldering remote led,s,with bits of wire and drilling wonky holes....and you came up with take lid off,turn it upside down and stick it down!

Brilliant!!!

Cheers Playsatan.

I hope that helps explain this handy little gadget

 

This is very smart

 

thanks buddy .that was easy reading .shame about the install .hmm lottery and i might get it fitted .what would a full install cost ya reckon as a average ?? 95 wagon ??

 

Best one I've seen was with the LEDs mounted on top of the steering column..

 

KL and LL both extended with LEDs. Both units positioned under steering column with LEDS positioned between inner and outer instrument cowling.

You're welcome RM. I live to give.

Was tempted to do it through the top of the dash to create a heads up display on the windscreen but bottle'd it at the last minute.

 

i like it like scooby_fan

 

There is an explanation in the Engine Stage 1 article within the Official ScoobyNet Articles Forum.

Shaun.

 

Thanks guys it's certainly given me a few options to consider that's for sure

 

Mine, much the same as the others

 

I must admit it is a nice neat install up on the top there

I've had a look in the car today and realised that it may not suit me as I am about 6' and I find with my line of eye that top part of the instrument panel is obstructed by the top of the steering wheel itself.
I may just drop it in without fitting it initially to see where it sits well and in view and then look at something more perminant later.

 

Im 6`3 and it is fine. it is easy to see.
