Project BMW 325is Part 7: VDO gauge console from BMP Design
|
To avoid removing the intake manifold and dash to expose where the wiring harness passes through the firewall, I brought the signal wires up through the rubber shifter surround. They pass by the driveshaft, which is less than ideal, but I was careful to tie them securely to the side of the tunnel and armor them with split loom. The clearance is a couple inches, so I'm confident it won't be a problem. I connectorized all the lines with fully insulated spade connectors, so the console can be removed as a unit without disturbing the wires past this point. I labeled both sides with a Brother P-Touch label maker, a past "Tool of the Month." View Related Article
