Smith Gauges and FFR Wiring Harness

[pjdavis]

Hi Group,

I was going to wiring last night (as I am still waiting for my upper steering shaft - 6 weeks) and of course the diagram in the manual is for the standard gauges - so is the harness truly plug and play or do I have cut it up and splice? If so does anyone have a diagram for this?

Thanks!

There are so many variables as to which make, and type of gauges a builder may use, I would think it's going to be a wee more than a simple plug and play..:)
Some builders have electric oil pressure gauges, and/or electric speedos. Some have EFI computers, some don't.
The Smith gauge wiring instructions should help narrow it down, as to what goes where, and the wire harness will be labeled, but it may still take a little fiddling to figure it all out.

Most of the smiths gauges are mechanical, there is no (and no need for) plug and play anything for the dash. Most (4 of 7) need only lights wired, which is very very easy. From the headlight switch direct to the gauges. The others have wires already in the harness (no matter what harness) for them. Volts uses gauge feed and daisy chains to the other gauges, fuel is fuel and tach is tach, that is all. Probably the easiest to wire of all the gauge set ups. HTH, Richard.
