Superwhite R283 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Arrived today Has anyone thought about making a bracket, like the R500 one here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark w Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 to fit that type of bracket you would need to drill the case ( which looks fairly waterproof as it is ) and risk damaging the innards .I will use a bit of double sided tape . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superwhite R283 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Fair point Mark why over complicate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCol Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Mine landed yesterday - great service/job!Not sure when I'll get a round tuit and fit it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark w Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Fitted mine this afternoon .Drilled a hole in the top of the scuttle and fitted a grommet ( Halfords ) .Took the rev counter out and located some suitable wiring to connect to . There was a " spare " black and white signal connector conveniently placed ready to use There was also a couple of individual connections with live and earth on them that i managed to piggy back on to without resorting to cutting into the main loom . Shown in the photo below . Spent a few minutes setting the unit to required settings and then ....... Massive increase in performance , over 150mph in first gear and i didnt even need the steering wheel ..Seriously , pretty easy fit , the hardest bit being finding the correct wires to connect into .

Wodybode Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I've been out of the country and out of touch for a few weeks and it looks like I've missed the boat on this. Am I too late? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompster Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hi Andy,Jason at DRE is away for a few days but as you were on the list it's still ok, in fact encouraged. Remaining orders will go out in about a week.We committed to at least 25 and had 28 people at the end. There's been one drop-out that I know of so I hope we've bought what we promised so please do go ahead and order. Aside from anything it's a really neat unit and with our discount an absolute bargain.Cheers, James, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmaidment Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Many thanks James, its a nice bit of kit. Decided to hide my shift lights under the bonnet in the blower cavity. The shift lights now illuminate the heater intake grill. i was always a fan of Knight rider. thanks once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmaidment Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Hi BigCol,I would love to attach a photo, if I could work out how.......sooooooo embarrassing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmaidment Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Finally figured it out how to upload photo's...... The DRE is velcro'd to the blowerbox. I removed a piece of the seal so the unit doesn't distort the box.With any additional reflective tape I got a pretty good reflection in the two nearest vents.During the day its a little dim but with some temporary tin foil pver the blower motor I got a higher intensity which should be solve this. Now I know it works I will use a perminant solution by using silver self adhesive tape to lay on the blower motor and in and around the bonnet vent (underside) to channel more light to bonnet. It looks good during the day, but I'm sorry to say it looks awsome at night.For track, dash mounting is definately better to catch the eye, however as I didn't want to drill my precious seven in such a visable position and I am not a track regular so I am happpy to have slightly less obvious shift lights.Placing the DRE's in the blower box will also keep them below the 50'C max operating temperature.Next job is to light up the main bonnet vents with red lights under heavy braking? Joking!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyD Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I know most of you will have already fitted your lovely new DRE units, but if not I did make a bracket for mine a couple of years ago and made a pattern which anyone else is welcome to use.Pattern was made for an SV (RHD) but have since fabricated another for a mate with an S3 and it lined up horizontally just fine (given that the S3 is narrower, I wasn't sure if the slope in the scuttle behind the steering wheel would be the same but it's close enough for my metalworking skills!)Much more effort than many will want to make I know, but if you have a hacksaw, a vice and are so inclined then good luck I made a pattern out of old cereal box before cutting and bending metal, may be worth doing the same to check my measurements will get your unit horizontal.

Member Jonathan Kay Posted August 14, 2017 Member Share Posted August 14, 2017 If there's much demand for the bracket it would be worth having some cut by water jet or similar. There used to be a Member who offered that.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
