Are you using the suzuki speedo or a digital one and some sort of pickup sensor?

Digital, suzuki one looks odd mixed with the other gauges.

Il probably get a little digital kit car speedo with all the turn signal, high beam etc indicators on it so I don't have to add anything else

They're called spek pro gauges, usually used in NASCAR as they have peak warnings and log data sneakily

I also like them because they do this sort of thing

What are the lights showing? Tricky to see in the vid.

Yes, a bit confusing . Are they shift lights?

Yeah I had them set too close together, it has a pit road rpm thing on it which you can set to turn green at say 1100rpm, then when it gets to 1100.1 rpm it turns red, also you can set the shift lights which are staged in the centre of the gauge so 12345 lights and then the gauge turns red at peak rpm.. That was just thrown in and set too low and close

This morning brought this from the post man! Had spent less on a cheap pipe flaring tool and it produced flares like dropped pies.. This however, is awesome! Well worth the money!



This is the first attempt with it..




Worth every cent!

I also got bored as usual so covered the new dash panel in vinyl and then painted the facia quickly with a rattle can to see how it looked, good in my opinion..

That looks pretty good all painted.
Is it going to stay black or will you do the dash in orange carbon or something a little different?

It's trimmed in vinyl but the face plate will be black with an orange pinstripe and my logo in it, nothing too over stated. Will get rid of those shite speakers too and get something decent either a two or three way setup

I'm pretty jealous of your flare tool, the traditional style makes for quite a bit of work. Well done.

Yeah, share the details!
If I can't find my old one I'd like to get one that can do that nice a job.

This is it here, there's a $400 kit which has more dies but you only really need the simple version for a mini, importantly does the bubble flare, which, opposing what I've read on here is the correct type needed for minis. Double flairs are used on a couple of joines ie: rear subframe, but it does those too, you just turn the little dial to the desired type of flare. Pull the handle, job done

So, it does a double flare in one motion??

If so, thats the duckz gutz right there!!


Excellent Sean!!

Double flare is a two motion thing, but all you do is pull the lever, let it off turn the dial to the double part, then pull it again.. It's so easy
