converting boost guages,

That ones in the box.

It is from an 87 ES, but since your taking it all to bits to create something else I would imagine thats fairly academic?

Chris, if you are going to make a vacuum gauge, you'll need a turbo gauge set. It looks good when you go WOT

I have a turbo guage set in the shell of the 90' turbo thats sat in the yard.

The 87 ES set is for Dragon.

I see.
What are you doing with them Dragon? or is it still a secret?

He could tell you, but then he'd have to kill you.

I have a vague idea, but i'm not sure.

I am not that interested! I think I'll live

There's no actual secret in what I'm doing, I'm just not set on a final idea - it'll probably be some kind of clock/chrono/alarm type thing in LEDs

Sounds good. HAve you got the other stuff from Maplins yey? or still just the LED

dragon · Post by **dragon** » Wed Dec 10, 2003 11:11 am

Just the LED

Mind you I dont expect much from maplins - I once went into the Sheffield branch to get some solder - they had no solder of any kind in and were quoting lead times of 2 months to get any at all!

Whata crazy shop? Fancy not selling solder!

I have some video of my converted gauges working, is there any way I can upload it? My website software doesn't seem to support video.

What format is it in?

I can host it for yopu so people can download it (or run it straight from site if it's in the appropriate format)

Apple quicktime I think it's .mov if you could host it that would be great.
It's about 600kb

email it to me and I'll pop it online when I come back from my riding...

MatBat · Post by **MatBat** » Wed Dec 10, 2003 5:29 pm

Happy Riding

OK, it's in the files section of my website, or a direct link is http://volvo480.northernscum.org.uk/fil ... ogauge.mov, but you MUST have Apple Quicktime player installed (I installed it especially to test

) -A link is also on my website in the same location if you dont know where to get it from...
