Dash looks great. Do you have any way to see the O2 Sensor(s) readings? It will be very helpful at the start till everything runs perfect, same with fuel pressure IMO.m

Thanks guys,
Fuel pressure regulator has a gauge so that aspect is done. I dont have anything to read the 02 sensors yet. Got a bit more done Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge GPS Sensor for the speedo: Click image to enlarge putting the dash back together... Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Instruments connected up and go through the test sequence when ignition is on. GPS got a location within a minute or so. Dimmer for the lighting also works nicely. I managed to strip out the unnecessary pins from the multi pin plugs for the instrument panel and reuse the required ones for the feeds, earths and lighting. Click image to enlarge One step backwards tho..... The indicators have stopped working. Hazards are fine however. I assume I have removed something I shouldn't have in the loom. I am now doubting myself as to whether I actually tested them when I put the loom back in or if I just tested the hazards as it was quicker...

Fixed the indicators. Fuse had gone!
Tidied up the wiring in the back of the instrument panel a bit too. Click image to enlarge Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated 2001 90 HT 6.0LS/6spdAuto.

Another bit done
Oil pressure switch adaptor for the engine which I have been waiting on a while. Interestingly this was made on a friends CNC lathe as he had his CNC VMC in bits. Click image to enlarge I also managed to pick up a Puma 90 headlining out of a 2012 puma for $50 as the owner fitted a new one due to a couple of minor marks. It's far better than mine was. I have already fitted the front half, but the rear will take some adjustments due to the roll cage Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated 2001 90 HT 6.0LS/6spdAuto.
