\"DSC_7761\"<\/a>
\nLet’s swap out the meter. We embedded a PIVOT.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"DSC_7689\"<\/a> \"DSC_7687\"<\/a> \"DSC_7686\"<\/a>
\nThe speedometer has a slightly different shape. In the end, we ground down the bracket to make room.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_7640\"<\/a>
\nIt won’t fit when it’s in the case, and the double lens is a bit tricky. After much deliberation, removing the cover gets it in flush.
\n\"DSC_7642\"
\n<\/a>Working on brand new parts like this is really nerve-wracking, so we’re being extra careful.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_7646\"<\/a>
\nWe could have bent it into a U-shape, but considering the height, positioning, mounting, and the need for tools to fit, we went with the safe option.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_7651\"<\/a>
\nIt got scorched from welding, so we painted it. SUS304, 2mm thick.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_7668\"<\/a>
\nWe made a hole for the wiring to pass through, cleaned it up, and painted it. It’s not visible, but it feels good.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_7736\"<\/a>
\nWe’re pretty fond of the 040 3-piece connectors and keep them in stock.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_7735\"<\/a>
\nWe replaced all the small fasteners too.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_7733\"<\/a>
\nIt came out nice and clean.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_7758\"<\/a>
\nWe went back and forth on a few things, but it’s done for now.<\/p>\n

It really takes a lot of work\u2026<\/p>\n

\"DSC_7740\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are surprisingly a lot of odds and ends, which is a pain, but at least there’s no H4 connector to deal with.<\/p>\n

We’ll take it for a test ride tomorrow and call it done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
