The included instructions should be sufficient to complete the install.

This may help too. I think it's the one TB was referring to.

Just make sure to use some latex or Nitrile gloves to help prevent finger prints on the gauges and gauge cluster.

I'm sure him or Firelife may still give you a hand. They seem to have a few mini-meets over there. PM them and see when/if they want/can meet up. Mini-meets/ mod meets are a good way to meet new friends lol...From what I hear, just bring them some Volcano Tacos!!

So FL got PGM and gauges same day. I wonder if I'll get Uprev and gauges on the same day, that would be nice!

firelife25 · 05-30-2009, 10:50 PM

But, good to know the Titan's needles aren't fragile and they can just be pulled off by hand. How long did it take you to do the install? Do you have a column shifter or floor? I remember reading that the column shifter gets in the way of the gauge cluster.

I don't recall a special tool with my kit (I may have ignored it), but have heard of it. I recall just using my fingers to remove it, with just a bit of a tug.

Install took about an hour. I took mine out a couple times to adjust the Needles position. You cannot leave the gauges wired up to test the Gauges while they are out of position, the connections are just way too short to do this.

I found the SpeedHut Fuel Gauge to be too small of an Arc, so my Full goes way above the Full Line, and goes below the E Line when empty. I have a Column Shifter, and the Fit was tight, getting the Cluster out from between the Dash and the Steering Wheel. Lower the Steering Wheel, and be careful, it'll get through OK.

Baseballfanz had a wire needing re soldered on back of the board, as SpeedHut includes built in lighting, similar to Timex Watches Indiglo. I did not have any problems with my Gauge at all. I placed the Dimmer control inside my dash, set at Full and Blue (vs Green) and never think of it. It did not seem to want to stick to the bottom side of the Steering Column with the included Double Back Tape.

I was unable to find a link on TitanTalk, for an Install Guide. I was only active on TT and CT at the time, but may have joined titan spot just to see the link above, I don't recall. Thanks for getting that posted, it is quite helpful.

Don't sweat the small stuff. I've really gotten a kick out of getting involved on a couple group buys, not so much for the pricing, but for being the first to get newly designed parts. SpeedHut Gauges was one, and the LoTek Gauge Pods was another. I have the Prototype of that one! Enjoy your new Stainless Steel Gauges. They look great!
