On with Wiring and Trying to build my Dash back up with the bits Ive got, I know I will be parts missing, as I bought the project all in bits,
Pics are just a Mock set up with bits Ive found so far, nothing screwed in yet.
Most of the screw holes line up, but its the Binnacle bit I don't know where it fits / screws in as there seems nothing to fix it to or am I missing something ?, also need to wire the dials up before finally fixing it in place.
Been looking for info and guides on building up but cant find anything, just going off pictures . Anyone got any pics of where this bloody Binnacle thingy fixes in ?
Thanks

You'll be very lucky if you have any of the original screw locations. All mine have snapped of and if being held together with bracing strips of steel. I have bought a new fabricated binnacle frame and I plan to buy the pressed replacement front from Raptor in the future.

They must have as I Was looking for holes but theres none there,

Will have to find out how it goes together , or near enough, then improvise. I know its not the best but it will have to do as low on funds now, no work with the Situation we are in, but We will all get through it Eventually.

I only did this the other day but can’t work out your right hand side. Obviously you have your fan control to bolt in on left and on the right there’s an additional cover that goes over your temp/direction control and caps that big of the top dash off

Let me know if you ever need any pics. Mines td5 but don’t think dash is much different. One think I realized is install everything very loosely until all is in place lol. Drove me mental

Thanks James, I'm missing the bit above in Diagram number 15 . No one recognises the part number must have been superceeded or something. Probably an Expensive thing knowing my luck.

Hello Kevin,

Thank you for your enquiry.

Unfortunately MXC8574 is now fully obsolete from all suppliers, I have carried out a Europe wide search and there are no dealers anywhere showing stock of this part.
