Guest Anonymous Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Anyone have a creative suggestion for replacing that silly cube on a '73 dash? Maybe a tii clock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 I want to rig mine up to a switch and a chime. So I can turn it on and say "Ding Ding...the captain has turned on the fasten seatbelts sign" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 ...digital clock from a mid 80s Toyota Corolla in the housing. It's really small and has a shaded surround. I think it could adapt reasonably well. Purists might try a newer digital clock from BMW. Should a clock hold such a prominent place on an '02 dash? Should a seat belt warning light, for that matter? When all else fails, there's always a "Hula Doll" or "Plastic Jesus." They are "period correct."

Guest Anonymous Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 oil press, oil temp and volts. Great location, as it's in your line of sight vs a console mount. Just make the base plate (masonite will work) to match the existing holes in the dash, and velcro the gauge cluster to the base. Mine has been holding fine for over ten years. The existing hole in the dash is more than large enough to accomodate the wiring. Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
