Rear suspension and rear end getting some much needed work. Hope to have it going by the end of the year!
Finally got the guages into the car. I had to extend the push buttons on the AFR gauge and the speedo. I used some carbon fiber rod used for RC helicopter boom struts, and cut it with a dremel. To attatch it I used shrink tubing for wiring. No glue needed. Worked great! I also had to put a 1k ohm resistor between the tach input lead and the 12v+ input lead in order to get the LS2 to deliver a tach signal.

Now there's a use for CF boom struts I had not thought of before. Especially the odd broken one .
damn, i'm gonna have to copy your gauges for when i do my swap, that looks perfect. i'll just do the fuel and volts on the right instead.
thanks for the great write up, has given me lots of ideas.

Started the install. Things were going well. Had the spindle all cut, trimmed, drilled, tapped, countersunk, painted, bracket bolted on, then found that the previous owner had upgraded the brakes to 79 or newer spindles. They have bigger outer bearings so all that work was for nothing. Thankyou craigslist! Posted a wanted ad for 70 to 78 spindles and got a response within hours $40. Oh well, guess it was a practice spindle!
Havent checked this thread in a while. Looking good. I am doing brake on mine as we speak. I am doing the c5 swap up front and turbo trans am rears. What master cylinder are you going with?
