Remember Jedi has not become a full master yet.

Jedi did you get any leaks after the install of the RB adapter?

Jedi54 12-07-2008 12:40 AM

it was the first thing I checked and there were zero leaks.

nuke0907 01-04-2009 02:47 PM

hey Jedi, do you have any pics or instrutions on how you mounted your gauges to the RB gauge pod? i just got one but i don't have any instructions and the brackets i have aren't gonna work.

Jedi54 01-04-2009 04:14 PM

nuke: PM me what kind of gauges you got and what the brackets look like.

I just did an RB ashtray pod, with prosport gauges - I put a small piece of aluminum 'L' across the back of all three gauges - holding them tight together made a pretty solid mount.
Then a little black silicone (we call that 'radio glue') around the hole to hold in place.

i have the same as stealth and swoope. i just don't see how the supplied brackets or cups are going to work.

Jedi54 01-04-2009 10:12 PM

nuke: just sent ya a PM

djcharlee 01-19-2009 09:42 PM

Finally almost there.
 
I just installed all the wiring and gauges.

Only thing is Racing Beat got a bad batch of Oil Temp/Pres Adaptors so I need to wait for one to be shipped.:eyetwitch

Here is a pic. Remember the Firs to readings are off.

THanks Jedi for the awesome how to.
:)

No, it is the zinc part that everything is screwed to. They got a bad batch from the manufacturer.

Does anyone have the original do it yourself RB's Gauge pot instructions? I'm having some difficulties installing mine! HELP? :)

renesisking 06-18-2009 10:52 AM

Jedi, big time props man, it came out flawless.

Jedi54 06-18-2009 11:17 AM

Thanks renesis, glad to hear it worked out for you!! :)
how did the install go? Which gauges did you go with?

Motomouse 06-18-2009 01:59 PM

Guys I need help. I bought nexus gauges and need some help to wire them correctly.
I need to connect one wire to constant +12v source(musst stay powered during engine startup and while ignition switch is off) and one wire to switched +12v source(must stay powered during engine start and crank but turn off when the ignition switch is off).

Thanks

renesisking 06-18-2009 10:42 PM

No bud, i didn't even get the stuff yet, but i still can't believe how nice it came out for you. I'll try to emulate yours as best I can. How much did all that cost you though?

trustbuddy 06-26-2009 02:27 AM

i'm thinking about doing this gauge install.
does anyone happen to have the RB's instructions in pdf format?
highly appreciate it.

jefecito87 06-26-2009 11:19 AM

i have it if you email me ill forward it to you i got right from them unless you want to email them and ask but i got it though

NoOdLe BoY 06-26-2009 10:32 PM

damn i love how that looks. i gotta do this probably after my exhaust and hiflow cat and rims are isntalled.

Jedi54 06-26-2009 10:33 PM

I tried uploading Racing Beat's instructions but the file is too big. the PDF is 5mb. :banghead:

jedi, me grass hopper might be contacting you in the near future for this same install.:biggthump

Jedi54 06-27-2009 12:37 PM

no problem trustbuddy, let me know if you decide to do the install and I can email the instructions.


on a side note: Racing Beat and Nordskog should pay me for all the business I've sent them. :D:

stanknasty56 07-06-2009 09:38 PM

wow very very nice job, it makes me want to do it but i have a feeling it willnt turn out as good as your and ill get mad and just rip mine out and have a hole there. lol

laythor 08-07-2009 11:13 AM
