Re: NEW Merkur part of the week
The forward facing turbo outlet and pipe are 2" diameter, correct? Will it fit to a Cossie 2WD or Sierra 4x4 IC?

Re: NEW Merkur part of the week
Yes, and yes. The "long" straight end of the S pipe might need an inch or two in length cut off of it to use with a 2wd or 4wd IC.Scalawagk9 wrote:The forward facing turbo outlet and pipe are 2" diameter, correct? Will it fit to a Cossie 2WD or Sierra 4x4 IC?

Re: NEW Merkur part of the week
We we able to contract the manufacturer to make an exclusive run of the "Indiglo" 150 MPH gauges for the XR4Ti just for us and now have them available at:
http://www.merkurdepot.com > Gauges
These are the electroluminescence lighted gauge faces that give you a nice bright display at night and you never have to worry about those dim cluster bulbs again.

Re: NEW Merkur part of the week

Mines been busted since I owned the car.merkurdriver wrote:We we able to contract the manufacturer to make an exclusive run of the "Indiglo" 150 MPH gauges for the XR4Ti just for us and now have them available at:

Re: NEW Merkur part of the week
Get out the soldier gun - the tach can usually be repaired by going over the spots you see that have cracked.

Re: NEW Merkur part of the week
I have a feeling I would cause more damage than what is there. I am horrible with soldering. I tried practicing with some old circuit boards and failed miserably. I think it may be mechanically defective as well, cause when it does work, my rpms change when going around corners.merkurdriver wrote:Get out the soldier gun - the tach can usually be repaired by going over the spots you see that have cracked.

Re: NEW Merkur part of the week
Is there any chance that those gauges will come in KM sometime in the future?

Re: NEW Merkur part of the week
I dont suppose those gauge faces are available in black? I hate white faced gauges but would like to change the backlighting color.

Maybe the next run we do. For right now they do have KM on them, just really small.lucky87 wrote:Is there any chance that those gauges will come in KM sometime in the future?

Re: NEW Merkur part of the week
I asked the same thing when I had them made and they talked me out of it - they sent a sample from another car in a black face and the numbers looked great at night when lit, but were hard to read during the day.wicked93gs wrote:I dont suppose those gauge faces are available in black?

Re: NEW Merkur part of the week
Which is a problem with the color they chose...for a black face the color should be closer to cyan(a really light blue that looks closer to white) then at night you can use a blue tinted bulb on a dim setting to darken it(or maybe coat the backside with some dark blue nightshade type stuff?) Oh well...maybe it be figured out some day

Re: NEW Merkur part of the week
If your just trying to change the backlight color, ian does some good work. Or follow the write up and switch your bulbs to a colored LED. That seems to work for most guys.
