minus-squareTimeNaan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up16·2 years agoI don’t think there is much cabling in the dashboard of that 1970s exotic.
minus-squareprettybunnys@sh.itjust.worksBanned from communitylinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 years agoI’d bet the gauges and dash are still in the vehicle.
minus-squareTimeNaan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoWouldn’t that be mechanically driven from this era?
minus-squareBearOfaTime@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoYea, speedo would be a spinning steel wire in a sheath, everything else possibly be electric (tach, oil pressure/sensor, if it even had that).
minus-squarenilloc@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoOil pressure was actually an air tube, and coolant temp was a copper pipe. You had to be careful not to kink them or your gauges wouldn’t work. Though the 70s was the transition away from that late 60s tech.
minus-squareTar_Alcaran@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoA lot of it was still analog, which is so much worse. You’d still have the basics, speed, ignition, engine temp, oil, alternator (?), RPM, light switches. Edit: steering wheel…
minus-squareTimeNaan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoThat seems to be part of the steering column? But I’m not sure.

minus-squareTimeNaan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 years agoOh shit, that’s a Holden? I was expecting a European brand.
