just bought one of these, a bargain for £80 incl p&p,
brand new clearance stock. around £150 from Acewell.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DIGITAL-SPEEDO-REV-A...1742.m153.l1262

different option avaliable also round pod mounted versions all around 1/2
price !!!!!!

And for peoples piece of mind this shop is about 2 miles from my house and where I bought my acewell from.

Very helpful even thou it wasn't for a motorbike and great service as the magnet pick up for mine broke (well I broke it really) and they gave me a new one for free

Does anyone know how easy/hard these would be to wire into the mini?

Requires some rewiring obviously but not difficult, well it wasn't for me and I'm not an electrician.

You also need to sort out the speedo pick up, usually on the rear wheel but again not difficult

Double post.

Good find, i would be buying one if it had the fuel gauge built in...

Iv got the same unit in Snot and its really good, but its just anoying not having the fuel gauge on it.

Scrap that, hes got some in his other items, me just spent some moneys

This is the one i ordered, its got temp and fuel gauge along with all the other bits, but its got a chrome cover (that ill be painting) But a really good price TBH

the one I have bought has a built in fuel gauge Tom , same price



as the chap sells them for bikes it has a neutral indicator, but i think this could be changed.
but you could put up with it as you'd be saving around £80....

Well i had a bit of a result in the end, just before i was about to pay i got an email from ebay and they gave me a 10% off anything i buy as an xmaz prezzie, so i only ended paying £72 including postage

Yea the lights can be wired in to anything you want, they also have the bukbs in place on the ones that dont have and images on, so if you wante you could add your own little sticker/transfer...

I wont be using mine for a while, but for the price i though i might aswell buy it now lol.

Bought one too, just remembered I have the same discount as you Tomf, damn. Oh well, will be perfect for the Minus and solves the whole having to wire in a speedo thing! Awesome.

LOL they should have put a post up on here, would have saved themself all the ebay fees and would have sold quite a few haha.

By the time I've sold the gauges I have sat waiting to go in the Minus I'll have nearly made my money back anyway!

By the time I've sold the gauges I have sat waiting to go in the Minus I'll have nearly made my money back anyway!

Yea defo, thats the way i look at it anyways, although ill be buying a few more gauges aswell such as oil pressure and boots, but defo cleans the dash up alot.

Yeah, will be keeping my oil pressure gauge, but do I need a boots gauge??

Not unless you have a turbo or supercharger...

Which unit did you order?

Sorry, you missed me taking the *yellow human water* out of your typo! I got the same one as you in the end, so you'd definitely better not paint that Minus the same as mine or we won't be able to tell which is which!

haha, just checked and realised the typo.

Whats you paint code then? only joking lol.

Well, I'd love to tell you but 12 months later and I'm still waiting for all the build diary/receipts info to be posted through............

Cheers for the heads up Camp Freddy. Got the same one as TOMF, get ready for the how do you.... posts!

Glad that you lads have found it usefull...

LOL nah my current acewell was easy to wire up, and im 99% sure there is a thread on the forum somewhere how to correct the resistance for the fuel gauge

Ill have a hunt for it as some point and post it up here so its easy to find for when we all come to wire them up haha.

Oh yea and thank you very much freddy you should be asking for a further disscount for promoting sales lol

Cool Tom, post up what you find. I'm sure I can wire everything up no problems, I mean I did put all the wiring into Jason, so a few more shouldn't be a problem! The resistance info for the fuel gauge would be useful though.

Let me know if yours arrives too, I'm excited about getting to play with it, though I can't help think I should be concentrating on getting the engine to work!

Paul.

such a bargain I had to let you lot know, the only problem is they'll become too common by
the time my cars finished (

LOL well iv had mine for about a year now, so im passed the stage of minding if they are common haha.

Nah only joking they are good units and keep a very acurate speed (untill the magnetics pickup falls off ) so i would advise them to anyone

Yea if you have a basic knolege behind wiring then its really easy to wire up and it comes with a full wiring diagram, and if it doesnt you can get them off the internet...

have you got any pics of it fitted

Linky for fuel wiring.

Heres a couple of i found after a quick search:

cheers tom looks good..

158 ohms for the resistor for the fuel gauge by the way chaps!

Ian

Well this baby turne up today





now iv seen the chrome i think it might stay chrome as i think it looks prety nice. Defo a good buy if you ask me cheers again Freddy.

Ha ha, snap! Think mine is staying chrome too, stop copying me!! I've fired mine up with a 10v transformer, everything seems to work, though haven't tested the temp gauge or the rev counter. I'm wondering if I can fit LEDs to the spare spaces and find a use for them. One thing I'm not sure on, if I fit this 158 ohm resistor, do I set the resistance of the display unit to 100, 500 or whatever the third option was ohms?

Just need to pull my finger out and get it all wired in! (Then fix my engine so I can use it!)

Woohoo, mine arrived today too. Only problem being I'm at work

I havent had a look at this one, but on my other acewell unit it has LEDs in all the places, evein the ones withought the little images, so you might be able to just wire it straight into that, have a look at the wiring iagram for it, and if these are the same there will be some wires left, but they will probably have been cut right back so its level with the black wiring cover...

Snap got mine today, dogs danglys

Banditmania, what an efficient supplier, don't get many of them........
even get a free keyring torch LOL....

Ah im going to complain lol i didnt get a torch

HAHA only joking was a really good service actually. me think + feedback is going there way in a min

I didn't get a torch either!! I'm at work, so can't check the wiring for spares, there were no wires loose and no mention of the other LEDs in the instructions, but I'll see whats under the sleeve later....

yea there was no mention of the wires or LED in the wiring diagram on my other acewell unit, ill go have a look in a min for you.

Ah no i just checked with this unit, there not in place, but i unscrewed the casing and they LEDs are still in place, but wires need to be soldered on to the ends...

did you get a keyring in the shape of a motorcycle? if you did press the sides
and an LED lights up in the end....

Didn't get that either, I'm well jealous!!!

Didnt get anything either must be because we got different units

EDIT:

Oh yea it has life

Wow that looks ace!

Im picking up my wages from work tonight so I think Ill be straight on ebay when I get home . Anyone got more piccies of these fitted yet?
Ash

Tomf, you were right about the other LEDs. The wires go as far as the end of the main cable. I've not applied power to them though, wonder what colour they are!

I won't be fitting mine for a couple of weeks, Jason isn't on the road so there's not much of a rush. Looks like I'll be able to afford the Weber that should be the solution to all my problems in a week or so, so then I'll be fitting both about the same time.

wahoooooo, Mines on order

Tomf, i see you got the one with the water temp feature too, you been able to get it to work off the standard sensor? mine just overreads constantly. and what resistance should you set the fuel gauge reading to on the unit when adding the 157k resistor to the sender?

I was going to ask about that, the sensor thats included has two wires to it, the original only has one. I wondered if that would make a difference, but figured it wouldn't as the second wire is just an earth. I was thinking you could get some sort of adaptor made up to fit the sensor that comes with device, ot fit an appropriate resistor?

I asked the same question about setting the internal resistance for the fuel gauge, I assume 100 ohms, but in the absence of an answer I was going to try each and see what happens, you should be able to work it out.

Mine came today, what a great little unit, and a great supplier which is pretty rare these days. Connected up the brown to the power and connected the earth and the clock comes up, but I cant get on to the screen with the tachometer etc, what else do I need to connect just to test that this mode works? I wont be fitting it properly until after crimbo.

dont you need the red aswell (i think its red) , there are 2 powers, ones a perm live, the others a key live, once you live the key you shall be cooking on gas

That will be it, cheers mate!

There are seperate earths for allt he various circuits too, think there are three, but it's all the black wires. There are two reds and a brown that go to the positive too. There are also wires for the LEDs that aren't marked on the dash hidden away in the black plastic wire shield. Have a look at the wiring diagram I reckon.
