    Default Small update

    Well I have manged to get a couple of the fiddly things done this weekend. but TBF i have neglegted it this weekend .

    I couldnt seem to get the lights working for my fuel pumps without dragging the earths about so I re made the plate.

    Fitted with the switches in.

    Then I tackled the stack dash, I had an idea in my head how i wanted it to sit and luckly it seems to be how I wanted it.
    I cut some carbon fibre the same size as the inside of the nova cowling.

    I trimmed the inside of the cowling so the cabon would sit flush, then notched the top so the clocks would be fine. once I cut the centre out the carbon, I bonded the clocks to the carbon then bonded it to the cowling and ended up with this.

    Then I fitted to to the dash to see what it looked like.

    sits nicely in the centre

    I have done other stuff but I keep forgetting the pics. im gonna do the wiring for the heated windscreen and the stack dash next eek after work then get panels sorted to have it to the painters very shortly.

    Cheers Gareth

    Those Elise dashes are ok but it doesn't cover the rpm you intend to use ??

    Personally I'd just fit a separate tacho in there and run some separate gauges for oil pressure and water and oil temp.

    Shame the LCD display is in the tacho, if it was the other way round you could of maybe squeezed a aftermarket tacho in the cluster.

    Looking good though mate. Will call you this week with some good news hopefully
