Soonto_HAS_soop Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 True this thread Dude. It has settings and a link to the english version of the manual and the english manual of the Powermeter. For the vacuum caps, I just cut the original pipes and put a bolt in the end with a jubilee clip around it. HTH Although a search would of found it Ben..

How are you going to mount it in the slot, so that it sits flush with the face? I had to fabricate a metal bracket and rivet it to the old stereo frame, and that was the second attempt, the first went very much south (i.e. was complete crap!). If I was you, I would get the dash out and set the face up first, then put all the wiring in afterwards. You don't see the wires, but you see the face. HTH mate. Ben..

Branners Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 not sure if you have one but the flip face stereo units (sony etc)can also hit the SBC-ID when its mounted under the stereo. Looks fine when you fit it but as the face drops down on the stereo the bottom can hit the top of the unit and jam it. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB i didnt even think about that. if it sits back flush with the stereo it'll be alright though wont it? i may be making a bracket tomorrow then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
