Gauges & Sensors installed but not wired up yet:
which is to retain all the creature comforts:
AC, power steering, cruise control and radio.
Currently with the quick release OMP steering
wheel I do not have access to cruise control, so
I've disassembled the OEM steering wheel
and removed the cruise control unit, wires and clip.
Relocated the control unit and mounted to the door card.
Oil temp sensor:
Oil pressure access and line going over to the sending unit, out of picture.
I needed to file down the block casting to allow room for the -4AN fitting, as seen in this photo. (pain the ass)
Mounted two electrical gauges on the door card [home made aluminum gauge brackets] and one to the steering column cover.
Everything on dash is still accessible, alerts can all be seen. Only issue is less room for hands when turning on and off the headlights.
Relocated cruise control switch, which once was on the OEM steering wheel, onto the door card as well.
I spent more than a day planning out and mocking up where everything needs to go.
Wiring it all up should be the simple part as its all electrical sending units and gauges.
Not as easy as a civic to locate gauge space and sending units due to the lack of room on the s2000's.
Anywho--thats the update for now.
