Instrument Panel Wiring

This was an easy thing to do to, RotorWay does a great job on making the harness and had everything right except for one pin that wasn't properly marked No#18 I think.

It wasn't too hard to figure out so it wasn't a big deal at all. 

 One thing you'll need to do is add another fitting for the oil pressure gauge or you'll have to fuss with it to remove the instrument panel and it's that plastic hose and it won't take too much abuse to damage it. 

When I was a kid I had a car that had a small 3 gauge panel I added to the center of the bottom of the dash.  I was parked in the school parking lot one cold as hell Michigan winter morning with the engine running and reached over to the back seat to get my school books and my foot hit the plastic oil pressure line and easily broke it off, before I could figure out what in the world was happening and cut the engine the engine oil completely sprayed everything in the car including me, my school papers and books.  Good Ole Miss Beulah the assistant principal at my high school wasn't about to buy my story as she sent me to detention for soaking my self with engine oil to get out of class.  Well I'll never forget that so remembering that hard earned lesson I changed ours to a copper line that is used on racing engines to avoid that days events.  Sure do miss that Old Hag!!

Another change we made was to use shielded wires for the rotor tach. We've heard of folks having troubles with the tach picking up interference and we didn't want to go back in and redo it later if that turned out to be the case.
