New "X-11 Style" Steering Wheel for the Citation (Courtesy of Mike Massey)
Indicator Lights
Wired and Fully Functional
(These are ALL lights
that I plan on NOT seeing during normal operation!!!!)
Speedometer Fully
Functional
Volts, Temperature,
and Fuel Gauges are all operational. A/C and Heater Controls functioning.
The Heater is working
100% and the A/C hoses have been installed. A professional
A/C Service will
vacuum then charge the system (even though its only 30-degree here now)
Finally Got the BOOST
GAUGE in, the most FUN part of having a SUPERCHARGED ENGINE !
(Ignore the fact
that it says TURBO....That will be BLACKED OUT later)
This is the Vacuum
Hose the will power the boost gauge
This is the old ANALOG
instrument cluster, which will be used as a sample before installation
into the REAL instrument cluster
The lights on the
LEFT side of the instrument panel are NOT used in the Citation (Tailgate
Ajar, Shift Light, Water in Fuel)
Removing the lens
reveals a separate compartment on the left
There is simply a
"lens" over the compartment
Easily Removable
!!!!
This is some old
Dash AC Ducting that will be used as the bezel for the Boost Gauge
Boost Gauge fits
snugly in its packging, therefore...........
I'll used the packing
as the template for drilling the bezel
This is the lens
that will be used as the template for drilling the bezel
Bezel is ALMOST ready!!!!
Perfect Size!!!!
Sample Installation
into the OLD gauge cluster
Installed into REAL
gauge cluster
Assembly reinstalled
into Car
Completed shot of
working, backlighted boost gauge. Bezel was made from spare parts lying
around in the garage and ......you guessed it.......the DREMMEL tool !
