You know you are cool when the switch panel also controls the transmission.

Hopefully we have resolved why the oil pressure gauge spikes past 100 psi with just a tickle of the throttle.

23,884 miles on a Lemons car? I protest!

Good Luck Everybody Else Racing. Yes, we have a fan page.

Re: Lets see gauges, switch panels and cockpit photos

I'm trying to keep the switches to a minimum so I can save room for critical gauges

http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6020/5994072753_b3daa2ec54.jpg

such as a Mario Andretti tach (lashed with plumber's tape), a combination thermometer/humidity gauge (with pink plastic housing), a compass (self-leveling!), an altimeter (illuminated!), and, of course, an Aifab Gemini in the stock glovebox radio slot.  That last item would probably put me over budget if it weren't broken.

As for the stock gauges, I'm pretty sure the water temperature gauge works.  Probably a good thing.

Re: Lets see gauges, switch panels and cockpit photos

The only gauges that work are Voltage (it IS a British car with Lucas electrics after all) and water temp. No speedometer, tachometer, or failometer.

Re: Lets see gauges, switch panels and cockpit photos

Here are ours. One more panel is on its way for the tach, progressive LED shift lights, and a couple more switches in front of the steering wheel. I’ll update this post when i get it in. At least I’ve got our excuse for going 4 off ready- “Sorry Phil, I was doing a quick gauge scan and lost track of where I was going”

The laptop is there for megasquirt.

If I could do this again, I would not get the text etched and infilled. Too many changes on the buildup.
