Sure, shoot me a PM or an e-mail and we can work out the details.

Jelloslug, I just thought of a new idea for your interior. Not that it needs it, but it might be kind of cool. Ok, you could get an a-pillar pod and install three digital gauges. I know summit sells digital gauges, but they are usually all in red. It would be even better if you could find some green ones. Well, just thought I'd share.

 

[jelloslug]

I have given that some serious thought, but I think the best way for mot to achieve the look I want is for me to fab up the pillar myself because the gauges I want don't exist and I am going to have to make them myself. It would be a "pod style" but a little less generic since it would be for specific components, the big thing for me is that it function properly and look like it should be there. Unfortunalty I don't really have time right now to make somthing like that, but its on the drawing board. I am in-process on a few other little items right now though. Nothing special or that has not been done before, but they are cool (to me at least) and help the looks of the interior a bit IMHO.

Do u know if u can change the milage on the digtal odometer to match the right milage?

Good work on using an ATX's center console. I like how the opening is a little bigger and sinks downwarrd a bit.

AFAIK a special Ford service center can change it, but I don't know how to do it myself (I imagine it take some special equipment shrug ). My cluster was new when I got it but it was set to 104,*** miles.

What are you doing for new seats and wdoor pannels? I'm thinking about doing this, but dont know where to get the stuff.

 

[jelloslug]

I alread have black 50/50 seats, I'm just getting them ready to go in. Thats the only thing other than the headliner and the 3rd brake light that is still mocha. The headliner is easy to change and I just need to re-dye the 3rd brake light housing. Most of my parts came from a wrecked '91 with a black interior. Thats the easy way, re-dying will work also but it is a bit more time consuming.

Wow, that is one of the coolest things Ive seen all day! Good job! Also great to see someone actually RESTORING a SHO instead of Parting it out or wrecking one!

If you posted a complete how-to on the digital dash with pics possibly on the connections and everything you would be my hero. hail hail I have wanted to do that for so long and this post only intensives that. Great interior a lot of pride in that sho which is great to see.

It came from a 2nd gen Probe. It fits the hole so well because I made the hole to fit the EQ thumb .

The how-to for the digital dash is almost finished, I just have a few more pics to take.

If you don't already have them, these might help:

I can get any other diagrams / pinouts from my Ford CD if you need them.

 

[jelloslug]

Those are nice, I was going to just scan the pinouts from the EVTM that I have but I might just use those. thumb

 

[DJ SHO]

So on connector 256, will pin 18 be able to switch the EATC to metric when you press the metric button? How would you hook the EATC in with this wire?

Since I'm in the process of my conversion (jelloslug been helping me out), can you post some pics of the 94 SHO's cluster's connector diagrams? It would be much easier to have the Analog and Digital diagrams side by side when I start on this tonight. Thanks.

 

[jelloslug]

Yes, it will switch the EATC from english to metric. You hook that wire up to pin 20 (red) on the EATC connector.
