Speedo and Tacho now working :) Regards to gixer_81

Well as some of you know if had a rite pig ear of an issue with my Speedo and tacho being temperamental and then finally just not working.

 

After placing some "Wanted " posts and PM'ing members I got hold of a new cluster and transferred my dials, needle rests and recalibrated the needles (thanks to a free N900 app) and all is working well

 

I decided to go back to the orange needles and I quite like it!

 

Many thanks for everyone’s time Inc, Homer, Heckler, stevie b, Jamie P and most of all gixer_81 that contacted me and sold me some spare dials! It’s a relief that they’re working after months taking the cluster in and out trying new things....

 

Some good sight pics:

Hi mate. Ok you need to remove the needles with a spoon either end the the centre of the needle like so:

then you need to put your cluster back in without the clear cover....

 

Now i have an app on my N900 that tells me what speed im doin via GPS and then put the needle on (best you have a mate tell you what speed your doin)

 

Regarding the revs it tells me on my boost contoller what my RPM is no i maintained 2000RPM during idle and put the needle on pointing at 2000RPM

AS you need to re calibrate you will need something pluged in to read the RPM

 

Take the cluster back out.. put the clear cover back on and then your done
