Someone here moved the buttons into the dash and it looked pretty slick.
The wiring shouldn't be too hard, you will have to do some homework and crimping because you will be eliminating the clock-spring connection (or whatever our old school equivalent of a clock-spring is)Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

wiring is not a problem, a good friend of mine down the street is an electrician for Aberdeen Proving Grounds and my dad has a lot of experience in that area too. I just dont know where to move it to.
Edit: well yea the dash or somethin but whats the hook up going to look like, its not like theres a spot made for it.Last edited by insomniac391; 03-21-2010, 03:50 PM.Comment

hav24wheel used the stock buttons and mounted them on the CV speedo bezel. I dont know how he went about securing them but it was factory looking for sure.~David~

they do, I don't know that part number off the top of my head, but it integrates new buttons that are just below the steering wheel. IIRC, hav24wheel just took the buttons out of the steering wheel, put them below the Spedo, and just spliced them into the wires, leaving the wires in the steering column.Originally posted by jayh View PostParts Car (Scrapped

I moved mine to where the power antenna switch is. Its a toggle setup so one side is on the other is set/accel so you switch it to set then back to on.Chris - A 20th Century Man \m/ ^.^ \m/Comment
