Still looking for a working econometer and an auxillary gauge panel

Post by **5lab** » 15 Jun 2005 01:47 pm

i've discovered something with the econometer - it makes a buzzing noise (due to the uberquick pressure changes). i'll try adding a fuel filter in-line to see if this solves the problem, but not till the end of the month, cos i'm broke

got Jeroens bits picked up last weekend and included in the deal was a 340 1.7 towbar with twin electrics which i will fit once its been cleaned and painted ( and I work out how ), I am still looking for an econmeter and auxillary gauge panel . I may try making an auxillary gauge panel from a cassette holder shell has any one tried this ? it looks fairly easily doable but I havent measured it up yet for the dials

I thought about butchering a cassette holder panel once, as the cassette part just slides out, then you can mount whatever square/rectangular (can't remember the size of it now!) piece in the centre. However I was outbid for it and didn't want to ruin my only one. I had originally planned to put my Mstation controller in one, but I don't think it fitted and the angle was wrong and too low. I think gauges would look a bit cramped in one personally, 52 mm would actually be a very tight fit in the current opening, so that could be expanded I suppose. One gauge and a switch panel would work well in the exisiting opening. It would look neat though, with the Volvo logos and shaping, also the way it mounts is fairly clever.

Just had a quick check........... so.........the opening is 106 mm wide by 92 mm high. I can remember looking on the internet once for the Fischer C box system that fits in the opening with the cassette trays, to see what other options they did that could interchange, maybe they had done gauge panels etc. I remember I found some limited info, but I can't remember unearthing anything brilliant.
