Dashboard Design

Last night we spread the wiring loom out on the floor in the house. Then with a roll of masking tape, a pen and the wiring diagram we labled both ends of every wire.

We have also decided on the new layout for the dashboard; the old layout was a mess and looks like the dials and buttons have been chucked at the dash while blind folded.

New Dashboard Design

The dials/lights are as follows left to right:

  • Volts, Amps, Oil temp, Oil warning light, Oil Pressure, Revs, Speed, and Fuel
  • On the far right hand side is a clock, as well as a plague we’re going to have there.
  • Switches underneath are for main power, push button start, ignition, aux, hazard lights, headlights, dip/high-beam. All of these have a telltale light underneath them as well.

From this mockup I have just started work on a technical diagram of what needs cutting and where.
