What are you doing in relation to warning lights and info lights (indicator tell tales for instance).

Are these being omitted or put into the tablet?

Not sure, but i think some lights (tell tale being one) is an MOT requirement.........Though i'm happy to be corrected..........Just interested, as its something i'd love to do in the future but not sure what you can and can't do with bespoke dash clusters?? :thumbright:

Im thinking about crafting one of these in the air defuser control bit but refuse to pay that much

I used one of those previously & Jerry has installed one in his Fury. Worked good, no issues.

Seem to think it was in the £30's not the £40's....

Brings back memories. But it must be so much easier than doing it upside down with your head under the dash in the car. :lol:

Well I was going to start this post with how disappointed I am with the painless harness I have got. There are no relays for anything apart from the horn. No light relays no fan relay na da

But then I realised that every wire has what's its for written on it and I changed my mind

If I was to do this again I would buy the wire from painless and build my own.

As I will be running micro switches for most things I installed another 4 relay box and a fuse panel for relay inputs

Almost finished gauge wiring so had a cheeky test of the gauges though the plastic
