Got my stearing wheel last week, but needed a boss to mount it so turned one up on my lathe and milled the hex in on my dads cnc, also needed to drill the wheel so marked it on his cnc so I new it was right, real happy with this as it not like you can buy them off the shelf



I copied the tapered hexigan from the standard sierra wheel





A stainless cover tube to hide the column, still not 100 percent how I'm finishing this bit yet

Then looked at the wiring loom and got it plugged in and the ignition on ready for a start up when I get my fuel tank

This is going to be a "mint" build I see. Nice skills, I need a lathe!:rolleyes:

Went off up to Race Technology today to pick up my Dash2, really nice chap who owns it and he couldn't be more helpful,







To say I love it would be an understatement, even before I've wired it up, I've always wanted a digi dash on one of my cars, so hopefully I might make a start on wiring it up at the weekend.

Here's a pic of them lit up for those that are interested

I've got the same dash and made the mistake of putting the wheel speed pickup on the prop.
I ended up putting it on the rear upright as it spins (on my car) 3.92 times slower than the prop shaft.

If you program them well they are an awesome dash.

Not much to get on with this week as I'm waiting on my prop shaft, but some switches turned up from china so decided to make a prototype panel, it's no way near the finished design and the large outer plate sort of represents the dash, I've recessed the switches as they would have stuck out a bit to far otherwise I think

The fished housing will be out of aluminium or plastic I think

Also got my bead roller finished and did a test panel
