In-Dash Inclinometer + Gauges

[JULIAN911]

It's looking more like a spaceship now.... the ashtray now has the inclinomter with blue LED, the bottom DIN location has 3 gauges: air/fuel, ODB2, and in-cabin air temp. The fuzzy hole has the digital clock.

For your seeing pleasure

Moon Buggy and all,

Thanks for all the compliments. You can get the inclinometer from jcwhitney, they only have one on the website so should be easy to find. I performed a little surgery on it by installing two 194 blue LEDs and hooking it up to the light switch so it would turn on with the dash light. The LED clock was also purchased from jcwhitney. The ODB2 scan gauge was purchased from Tone and it came within 2-3 days.

I'm glad you guys enjoyed it

Could you show us a day time view of that install? Curious as to how you installed the inclinometer since it is in a case. Did you use the front bezel, or make a custom one?

JULIAN911, you should replace the graphic of the Jeep in the inclinometer with a VX

[jacobus]

it looks awesome, just one question about the inclinometer, does it have to be hooked up to an electrical supply or does it come with batteries ??

I'll try to take a pic of the inclinometer during the day so you guys can see clearly how it's fitted in there. Will have to wait until this weekend since it's already dark by the time I get off work.

Basically, I removed the ashtray + bracket and squeezed that thing in there. I also had to create a little bracket to hold it in there (not hard to do). The inclinometer came without lighting. I took it apart (very easy), drilled a hole in the back and put two blue LEDs in it, and wired to the instrument on/off circuit. I soldered the LED's directly to the wires, no LED base was used.

If you guys are in Austin, I'll be more than happy to help with the installation or just email and I'll help anyway I can.

I agree that the VX pic in the inclinometer would be more appropriate than the jeep but that's beyond my capability

Day time pics as requested....

I jsut picked up one of these neat toys from an old tercel. I can't wait to get it fitted up!

At least the pic looks like trooper, instead of the Jeep style, I will wire it through the dash lights off of one of the OEM switches. Another project...just what I needed.

Gonna wrap it in box carpet so I can velcro stuff to it. Better than painting it, and keeps it fairly OEM if I want to sell it one day. I will add some pics to this thread when I get it done.
