While working on the steering, I decided to incorporate the self-cancelling turn signal mod. Update to current design The kit includes a VW turn signal lever. It has the self-cancelling mechanism built into it, it only needs an actuating cam to make it happen. But whoa, little buddy, it requires a little more attention than that. The cancelling cam is a 3/4″ shaft collar, with a couple bumps on it. I placed two welds, 135º apart and then sanded the profile. The PDF file shows the finished dimensions. You need to be fairly accurate in making this. Too small and it won’t cancel properly, tooRead More →

S/C  or Street model dash? Maybe a combination of the two Carpeting Wiring, the bain of many builders. This is really the nervous system of the car. It’s not that complicated if you have a plan WiringRead More →

Cleaned up the under dash wiring. As much as I tried to consider it would only be accessible from the bottom, somehow, it just didn’t work out. Added 6port fuseblock for modifications/installed items.Read More →

Speedometer Cable One of the items that must be purchased locally is the speedometer cable. It isn’t detailed anywhere that depending on the transmission you use, you may also need a speedometer reverser. The speedometer registers counter-clockwise but the output from most transmissions is clockwise. I also learned of a tip to install the speedo cable thru the cowl support tubes, to keep it hidden. I purchased a Mustang cable from a local parts store, it adapted to my TKO600 without a hitch, but was too long. A query to one of the forums I use and I learned the cable could easily be shortened.Read More →

Wires…Wires…Wires  man, this is tedious. I think I’m making progress. Added link to Gateway Cobra ClubRead More →

Mounted Haywire fusebox and begin wiring process. Created wiring diagram of Haywire unit and began wiring diagram. Wiring The Hurricane kit comes with a wiring harness built by Haywire, Inc. The package includes a set of instructions that are used in conjunction with the Hurricane manual. NO WIRING DIAGRAM    I like to work with a diagram, kind of as a map so have started the process of generating one. The diagram is a work in progress and not ready to be published yet. It will get there. The Haywire unit includes a fuse/relay box as kind of the brains of the system. To use thisRead More →
