Is your C10 jealous of your new project?  |

This will be a two seater “Racer” style build.
Absolutely do not want anyone in the rear.
I have stripped out everything in the rear, seat belts, carpet etc as I have no intent on having extra weight, and once the new cage is built, even more so.

[quote author="@jimil" source="/post/2631345/thread" timestamp="1601222319"]Talking about VDO gauges, came across these today, IIRC they came out of an Audi coupe that my B-I-L scrapped years ago.
Any use to you?

My reply:
Hi Jimi, 🏴
Thanks for the post offer.
The plan is to fit, as you know a MX5 engine and gearbox.
There was some wiring loom in the container the other day when I went to look at the motor.
Not sure if it was part of the MX5 motor, but think so.
I am planning on buying a new loom, because it’s a plastic car and the cost vs constantly reconnecting, fault finding and swearing soon outweighs the cost of a new loom.
So if there is enough of the Mazda electrics, it would be good.
I need to go take a look to see if I still have a rev counter I may have given away before, or that could be in my truck parts pile, but I like he idea of a large rev counter.
Not sure if I will be able to, or if it would be worth trying to get the existing, weather beaten and rusted gauges back to function or just replace with good functional items.
I think decent parts are probably the right way to go though.
What do you need to have for these gauges?
I will send you a PM as well.
I also sent a PM and asked the price including shipping.
His reply posted to my question, weirdly, as I sent off the PM.

[/quote]FOC shipmate, they cost me nothing so it wouldn't be right to take anything for them. I hate throwing things away so they have been kicking about my garage for years because they "might come in useful one day" .......... Looks like that day has arrived [/quote]
