flyboy Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) Thought I would have a go at this after seeing pics of SMD's dash. Just ordered a white dial face from Blackcat custom gauges with a custom Z logo on the rev counter.... Along with 30 blue leds and 30 red leds to go with the 50 white I already have Got a spare speedo cluster and oil/volt etc gauges from a salvage yard in the post, as my Zed is the daily drive. I will be also be looking for the eeprom on the PCB which holds the mileage reading and investigating how this is stored and changed. This will allow me to complete an LED mod on the spare speedo and then with the mileage corrected swap it out with mine. ( I have a low mileage car anyway 54k on an 04 plate, so won't be tempted to lower it) I know I could send this away to have the mileage corrected but if its held on a std eeprom then a reader and the software to read it and edit it via USB port on a laptop is about £10 from ebay. I will find out when I take it apart. unless anyone out there knows how??? Pics and a build thread may follow but TBH there is a lot of info already out there already so you may just get the classic makeover before and after pics. Might just have a bit of a surprise up my sleeve regarding needle colours and a dial colour change on shift change limit.

spursmaddave Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Why not swap them out and do the mod on your actual speedo, then no need to sort anything out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Cool A new Husky. Edit Get your ass onto headlights fast!! But make sure they're turned off! Can burn a bit if they have been on for a while. Just ask Wasso, he couldn't sit down for a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyboy Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Just ordered a digital temp controlled solder station as my trusty gas iron will probably melt the smd's. Just a few more types of LED to order as I need some side mount ones to do the temp and blower control dials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
