Rally Preparation ... Brantz Meter

Tue 10th Aug 2010 - Work time = 1.5hrs ... Build Time to IVA = 252hrs ... Post IVA Build Time = 9hrs

Time to start preparation for the Corsica Rally in October.  First thing to be fitted was the Brantz Meter.  The Brantz Meter is an accurate trip meter, showing distance and average speed.  Once calibrated it will read distances in 100ths of a kilometre.  Essential for the rally navigation which will be tulip map directions and distances (no road names or numbers or destinations!).
I had spliced in a wire into the loom to take the pulse feed from the speedo sensor and I had also planned for the power supply.  So it was a fairly easy fitment ... except once I connected it up it wasn't registering any pulse from the speedo sensor!  I had connected to the wrong speedo connection ... doh!  I had to remove the dash and make the correct connection which then registered the pulse.  A 30 minute job turned into a 90 minute one. 
Here is the Brantz Meter fitted ... just need to calibrate it now.
