Lucifer in progress

[ned]

Its only a prototype at the moment If I decide to keep it I may make it a bit bigger so its flush with the grill surround top n bottom, cant decide if lower case will look better (ford style lettering) N

Fitted the radio box, just need to carpet the roof lining

Started to wire in the gauges, just waiting for the boost gauge to arrive then I can run the wires to the sensors

Big white is voltage, the purple 3 are oil pressure, oil temperature and water temperature the hole on the right is awaiting the boost gauge.
Now got the problem of where to fit the lidl clock, internal/external temperature thingy

Also thinking this might be a useful mod to the van

Might get the van finished one day. N

You might need a new water temp sensor, the one with the separate gauge may not work. Wasn't sure if it was the sensor or the gauge somthe company I bought it from just sent out a complete new one.

Radio box tidies it up nicely

I've got the part number for that door pocket written down somewhere

I thought it was a passenger side one put on the drivers side I'll test the temp sensors but temporary wiring them in and popping the sensor in some warm water a nice job for weekend.

I have now cut the roof lining so it stops just before the radio box, it does neaten it up a bit doesn't it. N

Which gauge is the timer for self destruct Ned

Self destruct gauge is right in front of the steering wheel, it flashes at me to let me know I am on borrowed time N

Will we be seeing some in your van soon Apparently my van is a photo negative of your van (kind of) you have better wheels then me N

There a nice colour aren't they, they would suit a nice red custom I have to wire the sensors in yet and hope it doesn't go horribly wrong. N

[loot]

I'd have to get red ones i had been looking for mini gauges but not really seen any.
I've opted for digital display tho, yes i prefer mechanical gauges but i might be able to make a nice little display, we'll see.

There made by these guys

You'll have to ask DD where he got them from though.

Digital read out is that like what they have in the Nissan GTR?. N

[loot]

There's a set for 50 pounds on ebay, did you get all the sensors etc?

[ned]

This is what I have

WP_20170629_20_39_23_Pro.jpg

I think you get the temp sensors included but not sure on the oil pressure sensor, dirtydogs the man to ask I bought them from him

The sensors aren't too expensive, water/oil temp about £4, oil pressure about £10-20 plus the adapter pieces, you can get a pipe that fits in the water pipe that is designed for the water temp sensor for £2.79. N

Or you could just pop to demon tweeks in Wrexham. N
