I set out to build an engine plate that I could work from, but it quickly developed a life of its own lol. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) There’s a reason behind the design of every part, but I also set out to work with materials I had on hand along with some steel sourced from Home Depot.

Yeah our cars have all the wiring for a center console, it’s just missing the probes. I have OE gauges I bought from Tom B right after I purchased the car. But after having it a while I want to keep the floor open and find some way to put those three gauges in that keep the floor clear…. While still looking like OE.

But after having it a while I want to keep the floor open and find some way to put those three gauges in that keep the floor clear…. While still looking like OE. its missing the bit of wire from the probe too - will pop out of upper surface of engine tin, through the accelerator cable hole i think. i can't see any evidence the wire is installed on mine nor the little stand off crimp clips but i need to get it on a hoist to really look up in there behind the fan casting from below. don't believe its there in our 1.8s. just the wire that pops out of loom and in mine was still tucked up under battery area. good thing you alerted me to that one, was wondering how it could be "plug and play" as jeff bowlsby suggested. it sort of is, but there is nothing to plug into on the engine. |
