Stunner!

I have an alloy dash, and though it's very good, it will get very very hot! Watch your passangers legs and stuff!

hey thats rely good!!!! o see you have a rev counter im thinking of starting my desh this summer how easy is it to wire in new guages?

[Ru55boy]

Thanks again guys. It probably will get hot in summer, I had thought about aluminium door cards as well but that would be asking for trouble..

The rev counter was dead easy to wire up. I ran a wire from an ignition live feed on the fuse box, and a wire from the negative terminal on the coil. It earths itself through the aluminium dash, but a wire straight onto the lower dash rail would've worked too.

For the oil pressure guage, it's just an oil pipe running between the guage and the oil pressure sensor on the engine via a T-piece. And for the oil warning light, you wire the light to an ignition live feed, and the other end to the pressure sensor. The sensor creates an earth when the pressure drops too low and so illuminates the warning light.
