Sierra Instrument Cluster?
Northy - 20/4/03 at 06:51 PM

Hi everyone,

Is it worth trying to use the Sierra Instrument Cluster in the interests of saving a little money? And hopefully the speedo will be acurate for SVA?

Anyone used it? And can tell me how to connect it up?

Thanks

I used the standard Sierra cluster for ease and cost. I cut the unit parallel with the instrument face, use a slow speed on the jigsaw else it welds up behind the saw. Using the donor loom made the connection straightforward. I used the standard speedo cable on a bit of a lenghty route. If your not using the Sierra loom you could possibly cut the connector and splice from one at the scrappy. The speedo reads about 10% fast and was OK at SVA. Have a look in photos - Cairb - Mad dash.

Cheers,

Colin

I used it for the easiest and I used smaller tyres to get the speedo reading right. It has all the warning lights etc. and saves you time and cash.

yours, Pete.

Cheers guys,

Do you have any notes on how you connected it up?

Thanks

I've e-mailed a sketch of the connections I used to your virgin account. I'll attach it here as well.
