minimum dials etc for SVA
Jesus-Ninja - 28/2/09 at 06:53 PM

What's the minimum dash bits i need? I know I need a speedo (read that in the IVA), but a quick scan didn't reveal anything else.

I assume that I need dash lights for indicators, and maybe headlights and fogs (if present)

Have I missed anything?

I seem to remember that I have to have a brake fluid level light too...

The only dial/readout required is the speedo.

Speedo
Indicators
Hazard warning(can be same as indicators)
Headlight high beam
Fog
Brake warning (must be red with correct symbol on the illuminated surface)

I think you can drop the requirement for indicator tell tales if you can see them working from the drivers seat? So If you mount them ontop of the cycle wings?

I passed with a rev counter, speedo, bright 6 and a fog light tell tale (on the standard Ford switch).

Great - thanks guys. My plan had originally been to use the original Saab clocks. As I'm already using the column/stalks, engine, and entire loom, it made sense, but the fact of the matter is that they don't really fit gracefully, and I' don't want to make it look like a bodge job for the sakes of buying some separate clocks.

I'll likely use a fuel level guage that comes with a float, and run it separately to the existing Saab loom, and will also do the same for boost, temps and oil pressure.

The lights should be fairly easy too, and will run them from the existing loom.

Any recommendations on where to get clocks for revs / speed? I'm thinking of one of those all in one that has a needle for the rev counter, with a shift lights, and then a digital speedo display in it.
