Photos of back of dashboard with bike clocks
Hi
We have just started work on the dash for the Indy and was wondering what is the best way to secure the blade clocks. If anyone has any pics of how
they have secured bike clocks to the dash, it would be very useful to get some ideas from. At the moment we are thinking of bonding a bracket to hold
them to the dash but any ideas would be very useful.
Thanks in advance
Ed

Not really bike clocks but the Evodash is pretty close...

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

I made a rough shape from high density foam and put a thin skin of fibreglass around it...

...and made an ally bracket to support it and bonded it to the back of the fibregalss panel with 'no nails' ... voila! Not too shabby  The
blue paint is high build primer which will be flatted out to achieve a good finish, ready for covering with Alcantara.

Here's a picture of how we did it on the Blade. Picture obviously shows reverse side of dash.

Have a look in our Build diary - February section. It describes in detail how we achieved it. May give you some ideas.

How do you calibrate the blade speedo to the sierra diff ?

Thanks for the replies guys, some very useful tips there. Both examples look nice and professional. To get the bike clocks to work with the sierra
diff you have to use a speedo healer or similar which recalibrates the output from the speedo
sensor on the side of the engine which then goes to the clocks.
