john_p_b - 13/11/06 at 05:38 PM

does anyone know where i can get the wiring diagrams etc for the above mentioned gauges? i know i downloaded them from somewhere a couple of years back in a pdf format and printed them but they got flooded out of the garage a while back and i'll be damned if i can remember where i got them from!

anyone help?

cheers

that's an ETB link, not VDO!

This one is for VDO North America... not sure if the connections are the same, but probably worth a look, anyway.

btw, I just discovered that I'm famous (or my dash is): image no. 1 on http://www.etbinstruments.com/Copy%20of%20Digidash_1_Gallery.htm under the ETB Gauges subpage

Sad case of just getting home from a training course 'Oracle DBA part 1' thrilling.

Needed to warm up and catch up with locostbuilders before heading out into the garage.

Ps running the VDO auges my self, what trigger do you plan to use with the spedo ? learnt a leson there.

gauges are already in and been sorted once but i got a bit happy pulling wires out on a recent trip of changing half my dash and then realised that A. I hadn't marked the wires and B. i didn't have the diagrams anymore!

4 magnets around the driveshaft does the job of speedo quite well.

I belive they are the same electric guts rebadged - wired mine up as per those instructions no problems.

Regarding pulling things apart learnt how to get arround that as I cant right ( dylexic - told you ) cheep digital camera in the garrage take loads of pictures before starting any job

Could be wrong regarding the ETB / VDO match
