CJ-7 Wiring, dash, new gauges and my current situation.   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #88 of 117 |
To give you my current situation, I had to cut off the bolts wielded
to the roll cage to remove the dash. They didn't tell me that in the
wiring directions. The gauges and electrical were 28 years old, so
they practically desinigrated when I removed them, they didn't ell me
that in the directions.
So I bought a new aluminum dash and some really cool artic white
gauges and buttons and toggle switches. $800 for the dash and gauges
When I cut out the holes for the gauges, just like the directions
said, the holes cut too large and the gauges fell through… So I
created a plate and use a smaller hole saw then the directions said
and that worked well.
I didn't cut the holes correctly for the heater, washer wiper, vent
and lights, so I had to correct that.
Had to drive around all over to find all the little extras I needed to
complete the dash, although I think the wiring harness is complete,
but I haven't installed it yet.
"You need to pay attention to the knob hole shape before you cut it,
you will see what I mean when you remove the heater control knobs
verses the lighting and wiper knobs."
"The Dremmel can jump around some times and gouge your dash, so be
very careful."
" Make sure you have your measurements correct before cutting holes on
your new dash because there is things behind the dash that can get in
the way of your gauges and control knobs."
So now that the holes are cut and the measurements are done I need to
install my wiring and my dash, can you help me? I'm in Phoenix AZ.
