Inspired by MarkSanne's "AYC extra (external LEDs) in a-pillar mod" (http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47449) and bigsed's "It's Boost-a-clock" (http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49337) threads but a little disheartened at the recent Eurospec RR day by tw5jim's "Wonky boost gauge in what used to be a clock" (only joking Jim, but it did give me quite a chuckle), I've finally got the bits I need to put a second standard AYC gauge in the centre clock area.
I got a high vis VR-4 dash clock thingy and a centre clock (the one that tells you the time, if it works!)
I chopped the high vis dash to bits and took the clock apart.
What I ended up with was the AYC gauge circuitry that I will be fitting into the spare clock I acquired. I got a spare clock just in case I damaged mine on removal or botched the job totally.
Anyway I know that there were some wiring problems with MarkSanne's LEDs but what I am intending to do is simply extent the circuit from the AYC gauge in the dash to a second AYC gauge in the clock.
I have thought about this and I think that all I will need to do is run a wire from each of the AYC gauge terminals to the respective one in the AYC gauge in the clock.
Can someone please confirm that my thinking on this is correct before I try to actually get at the AYC gauge circuitry within my dash in the car?
If so then I can wire the clock part and assemble the gauge within the clock (with a bit of modification to the clock fixings) in readiness for waking up one day feeling brave and hacking at my dashboard.
Thanks all.
