Fitting a Koso Digital Dash

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

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.

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.
