Aluminum blocks are cut to relocate tach to the right and to mount temp guage. |
|
The black guage can is stock AutoMeter from Pep Boy's. The band was painted with a dull aluminum finish and clearcoated. Then I rubbed out with polishung compund to get the same gloss as the tach band. |
|
Looks like it belongs there. |
|
I cut the bend out with a tubing cutter. You will lose some fluid here so have a quart on hand. Make the cut closest to the transmission first then the other cut will be with the line hanging down and easeir to access. |
|
Fittings were brass 1/4" npt 'tee', two 1/4" npt X 3/8" compression adaptors and one 1/4"npt X 1/8"npt reducing bushing. I painted dull aluminum to make it blend in. I still have to touch it up. |
|
This is the peice of tubing cut out. |
|
You will have to remove this clamp as the line will be slightly shorter. I'm working on a better clamp to put back on. If you wire tie it put a piece of rubber under the tubing to keep it from rubbing the bracket. |
|
Conceal the sending unit wire in 1/4" wire loom and tape to existing loom for a factory look. |

Temp after 1/2 hour ride. The sucker runs pretty warm! This was at 68 degrees outside temp without a tranny cover. Check back for updates as it gets warmer outside. |
