Finally fully working dash

[diogocartier]

Nice work!

Is it necessary to remove the steering wheel in order to remove the dash?

rgds!

[Rikki Kitto]

Yes I found it a lot easier, don't think it comes out with wheel on

[Rikki Kitto]

I second that for the temp bulb, could do with some clocks with no peel and good LCD too... too much to ask?

I'm selling whats left if the guy changes his mind I'll let you know

Bulbs from eBay, try searching "grain of rice bulbs 12v 70mA"

I have just refurbished my little brothers S2 MTM from 1991, it had the same problem with peeling dials, so i changed the white diasl with some from a 1994 speedo, the only problem now is, that sometime the original speedometers km, trip counter, sometimes doesnt work, it is not the little plastik wheel, that turns them, that are the problem, but I guess that it must be a dodgy wire of some sort??

[Rikki Kitto]

OK anyone got a decent set of eyes i can borrow to solder this rediculously small bulb in

LEDs work a treat for the ambient temperature display. I followed Paul's advice on www.s2central.net and roughed up the LED before soldering into place so it diffuses the light. Yup you need tweezers and about 4 arms.....and if you are my age some specs

[Rikki Kitto]

Done it but I reckon the Ma might be wrong because it is a bit dim

[Rikki Kitto]

Also looks like I have the wrong wattage bulb in either the fuel gauge or the engine temp readout they look slightly different brightness One day it will be right

[newsh]

Re the fuel and temp gauges, it could just be the age of the bulbs, in the coupe I ended up buying all new ones from halfrauds, the 1.1w ones I think and they all look the same now.

[Rikki Kitto]

Will maybe have another look at some point but seems disturbing these old clocks too much ain't good as I had them in n out loads of times with different bulbs and connections playing up. Think I'll leave it alone for a while and squint

Nice work!

Actually no, I always do it with steering wheel on.

Great job by the way Rikki.

Cheers,

Mine needed setting up anyway so I had to take it off, but less work to do if it can be left on for sure, anyone know what the temp readout is supposed to read mine was on 27 Deg C last night and it was freezing outside so think I might have fried it when I soldered the bulb in
