The LED's are wired up, there will be a video on how the Mercury switch works soon. If you want to see a 15 second instagram clip, visit my channel @ http://www.instagram.com/meade916 it's just a few days ago. After i post these pics i will work on the latest video.

Today's work....

I was trying to find an easy spot to put his SMD VM-1 and SMD TM-1 by the dash not really knowing what we were going to do. I didn't want to do anything fancy because i think he want's to do an Ipad mini eventually in the dash. So before i pull the trigger and fabricate something, i want to make sure he know's what he wan'ts so we don't do the work twice.

Then i realized....there is 2 prime spots right in front of our face!

I will let the pics do the talking.

So i just started pulling it apart, to see what kind of room i had. To my surprise, there is ENOUGH! :)

Ok before you ask why one hole was cut with a hole saw and the other was cut with my air tool......it is because the hole saw would have cut into the top of the factory temperature gauge numbers (dashes) a little bit. It would have shown. So i had to do a circle with a flat spot on the bottom so that would not happen. The hole is a LOT more rough but it doesn't really matter as it gets covered by the new gauge. I just thought i would explain that. As you will see i am capable of a clean hole i was just out of options for the VM-1 spot.

It's VERY important these wires be detachable...in case you have to take the cluster out for service. you do NOT want to have to cut it all out later. If i had to do this all over again, and i might for some other vehicle, i will use a molex connector with plenty of pins to do the job. You guys have seen me do that in the past and normally i would. But this was short notice and i am out of one large enough to handle it all. This works fine :)

With Chicken's Caddy out of my shop, it's time to get back to some other stuff....I gotta get the v2's in my Tahoe (long story)....and i will probably get back to work on the DGAF Tercel soon too. But for now, me and my son are about to put the finishing touches on his system. He bought himself an ipad mini and of course, this is a no brainer and should look good. I am PLANNING (hope it works) to put an SMD VU-Din below it. This is what we have so far, more pics and of course a video once it is done. We hope to get started this weekend or by Monday.

of course we got the kit from Soundman! http://www.soundmanca.com

When this thing is all done, it will have a smoked plexi cover over the top of the VU-Din. It will also be painted from the back side to only allow the LED's to shine through. You will see. :)

a couple of updates. It's starting to look pretty good :D I can't wait to post pics with the VU-Din and the Ipad lit up :D

For now, it just needs to spend the evening drying.
