Lately, I've gotten the itch for new wheels and I've narrowed my choices to:


Fikse FM5:

-or-


Fikse FM10:

-or-

Of those, I like the FM10's the best.

Vote!!! Also, in something completely unrelated, do you know where I need to put the resistor to retain alternator function when installing aftermarket gauges? I've been meaning to ask you that.

Lol I posted and then totally forgot to vote. One of those days

And yes, I sure do. Assuming you are running a light to warn when there is an issue, the resistor goes between the two wires for the light. It's the easiest place to access. You want a 510 Ohm resistor. Check out this post here, scroll down to the "Pd w/ Gauge" diagram, and look over at the right side at the "BATT bulb" - that's exactly what you need to do. You will see the resistor there in between the two wires. Let me know if you have any more questions about it

Edit: I used a regular bulb. If you want to use an LED, then you need to measure the resistance across the normal bulb, and then measure the resistance across the LED, and then add that difference into the resistor.

Outstanding.. Good thing I speak fluent electrical technician and can read drawings!! Who knew all these years working on electrical systems would come in handy working on my toy :thumbsup:

FM5. Did I miss where to vote at? I don't see a Poll. And any more info on that Green TT1 Mustang?

 

[ReplicaR]

Always had a soft spot for FM5.

 

[easytones]

I like the second option better.

Yeah man, I remember those in the 90's.. Wanted some for a '65 C10 I used to tool around in.

FM5 = too plain
Classic = too busy
FM10 = just right!

The CCW's that I have my eyes on are more like these:
