thicko alert.....!!
 

...im probably being really thick. but how do i remove the trim below the steering wheel on a MY00?? trying to get at the back of the fog light switches!! can only see clip on end, but doesnt seem to loosen much:wonder:

there are a couple of screws too.

hmmmm.....where?!!!

yhpm

Im thinking of doing these gauges myself. Has anyone in guernsey done this on a classic themselves?

should be similar to a newage.

which gauges?

boost and oil temp. I know its fairly straight forward (for people other than me!!). Boost from blanked off nipple ready for the job. and oil temp from top cyl3. But its avoiding hot bits with the wiring and general electrical stuff im not keen on.

had a mate who is an electrical engineer sort the wiring on mine.

Hmm....not sure i know any electrical engineers!!!

also i can find anything about removing trim in those pages.....anyone else able to help??!!!

on mine there are 2 screws right at the bottom of the panel pointing up.

There are 2 screws, one is where the bonnet release handle is, the second one is the other side low down. The top part is held down by clips which you can just pull off.

hmm....some chance of me fitting gauges when i cant even get the first bit of trim off!!!:freak3: :iamwithst :cuckoo: :brickwall

could be entertaining

stick then onto the dashboard with gripfill.

and connect them to?

open the window a little and feed the tube for the boost pipe out of the window and in through the edge of the bonnet. try not to get it crimped else the boost gauge will give inaccurate results.

for illumination you can gripfill a maglight in front of gauges, at the correct angle.

:razz: shut up you lot!!!

managed it now!! just was investigating really! not actually attemping gauges today. Im intending to have a switch wired in so that i can turn off light feed to gauges if i want. (esp as im gonna have an a-piller set up, can imagine that on a simple motorway drive in the dark i might want them out of my vision for a while)

how about feeding all tubes/wires out of bonnet scoop and gaffertaping them to the bonnet, then drilling a hole in windscreen to feed them through??

remember to use a blunt drill bit though.

now we're talking :D

dependant on the gauges, the wiring for the lighting is built in and cannot be turned off.

bugger

what gauges you got.

autogauge stealth 2006 with the opening sweep calibration thing.

they illuminate with power.

i have the stealth 2 gauges.

hey ho. anyway just have to get them fitted then!!

Lucas House could probably fit them.

Go & speak to Nick.

is that down by the chippy?

yep, pitronnerie road.

are they good?
