You had better not go there!!!! Them is fightin numbers.

You don't even speak of Dale in the same post as the Shrub.

 

and I'll tell you why!!!! I had alot of time on my hands today, so I did pics and and some other things....here they are.....will have to split up into 2 post's

Pic #1....A-pillar removed

Pic #2...gauge installed in A-pillar....used tape to center gauge in the pillar....

Pic #3...I removed the lower panel under the steering wheel to gain access to run the cable
very easy to remove....the plastic piece you see on the floor is under that panel, 4 bolts and it comes right out....
I removed that to gain more access to the back of that area....you will also notice that I ran the cable underneath
to the A-pillar area...

Pic #4...shows the cable through the opening....

Pic #5....shows the gauge installed with the tweeter totally removed, like I said I had alot of time on my hands today.
you will also notice that I ran part of the cable through the slot in the A-pillar, fits snug....

 

the rest of the install....

Pic #6...tweeter reinstalled with gauge

Pic #7...I ran the cable around the rear of the ADL connector and just wrapped it nicely...used the wire tire that came with it and also a plastic cable on the other end...


Pic #8...A-pillar reinstalled....

Pic #9...you can see that it is plugged in and ready to go, and that the cable is neatly in place. now along that bar on the inside is a nice size ledge, that you can rest the plug connector when you unplug it from the ADL. and it will stay there, it won't be hanging down

Pic #10...the final look of the install

I just wanted to take my time and run the cable the best way possible fro a good install....hope you enjoyerd the pics.....


sockets need 7mm 9mm 10mm and a very small torx for the A-pillar bolt if you don't have the 7mm

 

pic #11...the plastic piece under the lower panel

pic #12...the open area without any cable running through

 

Great pictures, you make it look as easy as it is.

One note on what I did,. The last two pictures where you removed the lower dash. I just used a coat hanger and ran it down from the top of the dash. Once it was down under where I needed it I taped the wire to it and just pulled it through.

Just as he did save the wire tie that comes with it and use it to tie off the extra wire. You will have a good amont of extra and will not want it to fall out from under the dash.

Also on installing your gauge make sure you have it turned to the possition you want it before snapping the pillar into place. You may want it level or with a slight angle to it so trial fit before you snap it in place.

 

nice install. if only i had a turbo

 

Buy you a turbo and install it on the motor you got...But you dont need a turbo to own this gauge.............

 

What kind of twick does the mounting bracket need? (bending/cutting)
Mine is on order went with black benzel black and white face.

 

It comes with everything you need. not cutting or bending needed ....Direct fit.
