Jan,

I like the look of your monitoring panel, have you worked out a price and
delivery for them yet?

Hello again,

Since I was busy with the pictures of the RPM-relay I also put
up pictures of my finished monitoring-panel *(you might rememer
me asking for inspiration a couple of months ago).
The monitor is up at <http://members.home.nl/delorean/monitor>


As promised I have now put pictures of my RPM-relay modification up.
They can be found at <http://members.home.nl/delorean/rpm/>

- The first picture is what I see when nearing the car,
this flashes to let me know the alarm is activated.
- The second picture was taken with the engine running and hot engine;
both fans are running, as is my fuelpump and the tem is still too high.
- When the temp gets low enough the otterstat cuts out and my fans
sequence down, in the 3rd pic you can see that only fan 2 is still
running thanks to FanZilla (I LOVE to see this!)
- The actual Icon Design is shown in pic 4, I can't demonstrate the
AC-light, since my AC doesn't work at the moment, but the symbol
cycles with the clutch.
- The 5th pic shows the new window I made, still on my work bench,
looks allmost stock, doesn't it?!?
- Most asked question is how I fixed the window; you can see here!
The plastic has a hole in it that's smaller than the window, the
window sits on top of the plastic and is glued in place. I made
a Circuitboard that screws into the hollow posts seen at the bottom.
- These are the actual LED-elements, each square contains 4 chips, which
I put in series per square with a resistor to determine the current.
- The board from below, with the wires connected, tinned tracks
and a couple of shrinkwrapped resistors...

I'm very happy with this setup; it's proven more usefull to me than
the original clock and has helped troubleshooting on both (allmost)
overheating my engine and some no-start (RPM-relay) trouble.

Any questions are welcome,
