I got a boost plate off nomad (holds 3 gauges) replaces the center heater ducts.

Prob is it wont fit properly?!?

Anyone know wot to do?

 

In what way wont it fit ? It too wide, the holes for the heater controls are not correct? Give us more info, and may be able to give some advice.

 

Sorry mate cant help you...But just wondering do you know how to connect up the oil pressure, engine temp and voltometer...I've wanted to fit one for months but having a fucking clue where to start

 

AFAIK Voltmeter just hooks up to the feed on the battery, engine temp - there is a sensor that goes into the block by the head, oil pressure - get t-piece and unscrew the current oil pressure switch and plug your new on in on one side of the t-piece and the original switch on the other side of the t-piece. All a bit vague I know but someone else might go into a bit more detail!

 

cheers mate, no thats perfect makes sense...

 

I mean that i have lined it up and it goes over the holes for the fans etc.

But wot connets it to the top the facia plate? there are no screw holes and it doesnt follow the lines of the dash?

Have i got a dodgy one or wot?

Also, wot is the circle bit of metal that came with it for?

Has anyone got a picture of it fitted?

 

I THINK the t-piece is 1/4 NPT, you can get em from burton power - £3.95

 

You kinda answered your own question!

The metal circle bit is what you use to hold it in place. You place your 52mm gauges into the pods, and then the metal piece goes over the centre gauge and clips into the bit of plastic behine the pod, it's easier to demonstrate than explain! lol

 

 

Cheers jimmyboy

Im such a dickhead sometimes

 

hehe, no worries m8, I was the same as you at when I first got mine - couldnt figure out how it fitted, then the penny dropped! lol
