Don't know what the thing is supposed to be called. I was bored this afternoon so...
Found some black perspex in the workshop and thought I'd have a go at replacing the manky display thing.
Glued some M6 coach bolts to the back with CT1 as that's what CT1 is supposed to be good for.
Put the shape in with boiling water, 1200 wet and dry to get the scratches out.
Drilled it with a holesaw without knackering it eek
Time to find out which lights were connected to anything, low petrol indicator even had a blanking plug fitted,
Maybe should have had an icon to indicate when to start walking to the petrol station.


I'll glue the bulb carriers in tomorrow so they sit flat and tighten the fixings too.
Have to find some more things to avoid working
Happy forum post smile

Alan - Would be fun having them illuminate from bottom to top with increasing brake pressure, with fully deployed anchors all fully lit up! Perhaps grading the colour by order of severity! That would surely appeal to Glen
I think a brown light for total brake failure would be a good idea! yikes
Brake failure indicator light already mounted to ejector seat,
is indeed brown and sort of twitches on and off when deployed.
