I realized there’s a couple of things that I’d not covered in yesterdays post…<\/p>\n

firstly I’ve bought another set of instruments, these are from a Mazda 929 roughly 1995 vintage, new old stock and an eBay bargain at $25!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Previously I’d bought a set from a BMW Mini however, cars in the 2000’s use a bus system to drive the instrumentation, which means there’s 5 pins to drive 100 functions, so unless you are an electronics guru you’re not going to be able to make them work.<\/p>\n

however the stuff from the nineties has lot and lots pins, a set for each function, so they can be dealt with one at a time, so there is some hope of getting this to work.<\/p>\n

Also the front top shock mounts I felt were too narrow, and as I had not got perfect alignment of the shock when it was installed I decided to widen the mounting area.<\/p>\n

this meant slicing of the back mounting tab, and attaching a C section 17mm wide cut from 25mm SHS, to do this I used the band saw in the upright position and I also used it this way for cutting out the new mounting tabs, for these goods it was great!<\/p>\n

Below are a couple of pics of the finished job:<\/p>\n
