Carl's 20th Anniversary #8690 - Graduated... 15,000 miles

[Papa]

Thanks Dave,
Do you have a close up photo of your spedo? IE can you see the turn indicators in there with out being lit up? The Tach and Spedo are in the same location as the FFR 20th and several other builds I have seen.... I thought the idea of the backwards spedo was so that the two of them come up from opposite sides together... or something like that.

Here are photos of theirs. I did rearrange the small gauges to my liking. I can also see in the one photo that they have small turn signal lights just above the steering column. I don't think these gauges have them.

I do have the daisy chain part hooked up. But the RF harness just has the blue connectors on the ends of every wire where the gauges have their own connectors. I'll do some looking for a more up to date manual.

Here is a picture of my gauges. You can see the indicators on the speedo:



As for the connectors on the gauges for the sending units, I believe the newer RF harness has the plugs, mine did. You can always add them to match the gauges or simply cut them off and use a different connector of your choice.

As for the layout, I guess that really does come down to preference. The picture on the gauge wiring book has them with the speedo on the left, but I can't find any real reference to "correct" position. I suppose if you plan to race the car it would make more sense to have the tach in the most prominent position. For a street car, it makes sense to swap them.
