Fitting a Koso Digital Dash

Entries in this blog

While the sun was shining

Not a bad day weather wise yesterday so I took the opportunity to get the covers off and have a good rummage round the wiring and start to refit things. All went well and I have now completed my mock dash. The whole I've cut for the Koso, whilst not perfect and by no means measured with any accuracy is just shy of the real size and shape so at a push and a slight angle, it will pass straight through. I've done this deliberately as I have then added a run of edging - the idea is that I can now

Progress!

At last some progress. Tracked down the ignition lamp problem, damn wire had come off the alternator. Also gave it a jump start and the engine now runs perfectly. So happy boy at the mo.

First things first - planning and recording

Due current lack of full-time work, I'm making a start on fitting the Koso RX2N Digital Dash that I bought at Stoneleigh in 2012 - so perhaps one of the smallest upgrades that will have taken the longest time to fit...!? So first things first - some recording of where and what things are today and a high-level plan of where I want to end up. I've mapped out all of the required feeds, power and earth wires from the Koso on a spreadsheet and cross referenced with the std Westfield Zetec loom. I'l
