wolfrace 116 Posted February 3, 2014 I've seen a variety of in car audio installs on classics on YouTube but yours is definitely the best in terms of the way it performs and for retaining the authentic design/features. Well done! Tick, gold star. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ford1975 2 Posted February 3, 2014 Now get the thinking cap on Pete and work out how to do the conversion on a digital version. Is there no way you could get relays to control/replace the action of the micro switches. Ideas on paper please Just when you get a spare minute (so I'm guessing May time) 👍 And I heard a cheeky little number from George Michael in there 👍🍺 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markthree 5 Posted February 3, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHewCUqRUT0&feature=youtu.be Like it a lot fantastic mix of old and new. :thumbup: I also like the Chrome surround, I think the contrast is good on the dash. Are you keeping this surround or going back to black? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littlenewt2067 33 Posted February 3, 2014 Brilliant as always Pete, I am amazed at what you have achieved there...if I knew that was possible I would have done the GT different! Nice one :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cortina-city 141 Posted February 4, 2014 Very cleve Pete :thumbup: thanks Ady! ok well car is getting close to the paint job, maybe a few weeks or so. got the paint etc. still prepping, lots to do with final little touches etc. Upgraded my fuel tank gauge to have a low warnign lamp, its something i always wanted to do. its duel brightness, bright for daytime, dim for nightime so it does not dazzle. light comes on when gauge hits the reserve/red area. took a lot of thinking this one. i tried many different ways and ended up with a very simple contact breaker solution using the guages excisting bi-metallic strip and a contact salvaged from an old relay, some resistors and some solder and glue and i was there. also built a 'dim' module to drop power when side lamps on. it even self tests the led when first powered up though that was an accident! the capris you see are the 2 colours mu gxls will be Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
