Installed the Cyberdyne Green LED oil pressure guage tonight. Painted the A-Pillars black with Rustolium truck bed liner. They now resemble the dashboard texture. Relocated the driver's side tweeter about 3 inches higher. Heat molded the black guage pod to the A-pillar used some Bondo and caulk to make it look smooth on all parts of the A-Pillar. I think this looks really custom and cool. Digital guage is set to flash if oil pressure falls below 15psi. I am very happy with this mod! iPhone app is named vehical clinometer. Just found another app that shows a Defender. The cockpit just got cooler.

Sticky Please! Nice job on the tap out!

I was lucky I didnt have to wait 3/4 days for the adapter since the guy on ebay was here locally in LA, received my adapter the next day!

I love the snow ball effect. Def blows my setup out the water. I like it!

Is the Glowshift gauge a standard size?
I dont like the 17 year old Fast and Furious pod and I would like to use a under the dash kind of mount.

Yes Spike those are both 2 1/8" diameter gauges. Like the large display you see behind the counter at Oreilly's. If you remove the A-pillars & paint them flat black and install the black gauge pod it looks very nice and custom. You can even use a heat gun to form the pod perfectly around the pillar. After researching all this stuff for about 2 weeks, I found all A-pillars even in black interior Disco's are all beige(non black). So I painted mine tonight. The A-pillars dont come off without a little fight, but are held on nicely with 3 metal spring clips. I painted them with the left over Rustolium truck bed liner I had from the wheel well project. It adds a nice texture that resembles the dashboard finish.

D1?
 
Will this same original write-up work for a D1? What differences are there?

bosshogt 12-10-2010 12:19 PM

Lee97Disco1,
I think most all should be the same. Although you might have engine oil cooler lines on the front cover in those plugs. I know the 99-2002 Dico II's did. But there still might be a open plug on your DI. You will have to investigate. Otherwise follow the instructions and pictures and let up know if you need some help.

Ebay Adaptor Link Update
 
The original link is not working. Here is a new link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Senso...item2a0ce0ebfa

when this one goes bad, just look up Seller "authentic-boosting" on ebay.

or do a search for "M20x1.5".

Good luck!
