As promised. I pulled that dash last night before I went I bed. I should have stayed in the garage because I spent the next 2 hours wide awake in bed planning the next steps... :ugh2:

You make it look easy, if it were me I would wanna get that thing back on there as soon as possible before I forget where everything went. haha. Looking through your thread makes me wanna skip out on work and get back in the garage :)

I know what your saying. I didn't want to stop last night. I really wanted to get it all back together.

I'm a very visual guy, when I do this I lay screws and other parts in very specific places that help me remember what goes where and when. If someone walked into my garage right now and moved everything in the car I would be screwed. :icon17:

I am curious to see how you mount those gauges, I would assume your are going to keep those stock 3 gauges together and intact so you can replace them in need be? In that case you are going to have to fab up a mount for all 3 correct? It would be nice if someone made a mounting system for our cars.

sandwhich baggies and a sharpie are always handy in the garage!

How was the RJM pedal instal? I still have not set time aside to do mine. Really because I have no idea how log it should/will take. It is something I want to be sure I can have done in what ever time I put aside for it.

Any flaws with the instructions? How did you set yours?

The install is pretty easy. Mine took a couple hours max. Hardest part is getting down there and manoeuvring around to remove and install the right pieces. After that it is just some minor adjustment until you get the desired feel.

Basically like N0SL3N said. Plan a couple of hours. I'm glad I did mine while the dash was out. It gave me a little more room to manoeuvre. Having the raised up on jack stands helped too.

Instructions were good, and the parts fit perfectly. I set it up to the 70% mark like the instructions suggest and I was able to row through the gears no problem. The real test will come during the first drive :tup: It's going to be like a whole new car :driving:

Dash and gauges going back in. I'm bummed that I had to stop early tonight.
