My cockpit build Log(WIP)

[chris p duck]

Hey matey. I did mine by taking the measurements from my real car. Get your seat where you're happiest with it then take measurements for all the important things (middle of each of the pedal faces, centre of steering wheel, top of gear stick, back middle of seat etc)

Pick one point (I picked the floor directly under the brake pedal, but it can be anything) then take x, y and z differences for each item. eg the steering wheel might be 300mm forward, 10mm to the left and 700mm up from this point.

As Nescafe said build in as much adjustment as you can and you won't go far wrong.

Hello Nescafe37,

Finally, I'm going to have a 156 2.5 V6 instrument cluster, and I want to know if you can give me the wiring diagrams of the 156 cluster, or if you can give me photos to the back of the cluster because I want to see your plugs please.
I salute once again your work that I find beautiful.
Cristiano thank you also has to offer these great products.

Bye.

Hi nescafe,

Where did you source the switches from? I'm looking into building a Peugeot 306 dash as I'm a massive fan of them

I'm planning on it being quite a complete build, incorporating working dash lights (if possible), for example the handbrake light etc.

[ORA-Young Joe]

pro shift does it m8 and a button box for extra switches

[ORA-Young Joe]

is there a program out there to draw your simulator as a plan sheet and measurments.

I am sure the 306 is a cable driven speedo mate so that wont work..i might be mistaken but im sure the cable so you better check first...The extra switches i bought from ebay and they are only used to turn my wheel on/off,,Turn the simdisplay on/off and turn my GIMAX on/off...And the big red hazard warning switch you see in my pictures is connected to my dashboard lights..Although i also have Leo Bodnar board to connect extra buttons and switches but i have not got around to fitting it yet

[DemonDriverDan]

Hmmm, will have to look into it as think the later phases might not be cable driven.

Is this the board you mention? http://www.leobodnar.com/products/SLI-M/

I would start my own build thread, but I'm not going to be building anything for a few months!

Hello,

Thanks for that list Nescafe, it will be more easier for me to do the good plugs.
Can you just say the number of trips you used especially for the +12 V and earth.
What type of power supply have you used ?

Thanks a lot. Bye.

[bonjourno38]

Up

[nescafe37]

I have used to power supplies that Christiano recomends and sells on the main site matey...As for the trips??? I dont really understand what you mean buddy?

[bonjourno38]

Hello,

Thanks for your answer. What I wanted to say before is that:

How many son 12V and earth have you connected to the speedometer and tachometer ?
What are the numbers of the plugs on cluster you have used for plugs the + and - outputs of the revburner ?
What is the number of the plugs for the light of the tachometer and speedometer because I want to put switches for light ?

Thanks.

Bye.
