And the back where the hose clamps into the gauge is so long that I can't push the gauge back flush into the mounting cup so it really looks ghetto. And now that the little plug in my firewall is out and can really hear more of the engine I got to fix that, cause it's too loud. And the hose that autometer gives you snaps like a fuckin twig. And the little pressure nut sucks also. Just an all around bad time.  |
dude im so sorry to hear it went badly, theres nothing worse than getting you hopes up and then being smashed in the face, by a rough install. you guys need my phone number for stuff like that. i have a very large garage and tons of time usaully (unless im riding
) i have installed so many crappy autometer products over the years, i know the ins and outs fairly well.
the place you guys... all you guys will want to pull an illumination wire from will be from one of two places.
1. the back of the stereo.
2. the ashtray light.
those are the best bets.
yes the pressure nut sucks but it actually works really good unlessyou bust it. just crank that little bastard down and youre good. if you can hear the plug being out then you have better hearing than i. or you removed the wrong plug. probably the later of the two. on thursday at the meet ill point out some stuff that will help. and give out my phone number to everyone.
once again sorry to hear that.
