I used caliper paint, figured it might hold up better to brake fluid.

i had to run 2 wires from the megasquirt to the dash for my tach. While I was building the harness I just added 5 more wires for "future expansion", aka gauges. Ethan, just add a bunch of wires then you can decide later what you want to add. I'm liking the progress :thumbs:


that's what I was thinking as well. Just to lazy to go to the store and buy wire right now :hillbilly:

I painted the last one with regular rattle can and it crinkled up after brake fluid hit it. so far this has held up ok. It got a lot of brake fluid on it when I put it back together and no crinkle yet. figured it wouldn't hurt to try the caliper paint.

It didn't even cross my mind either. Once you brought up brake fluid, I was glad I asked. Sometimes it helps when someone else points out the obvious. Otherwise, I would have gone with the same mistake. Thanks again, man!

The beam is a 4" Franklin beam that Eliot hooked me up with.
Also got a few goodies in the mail this week. AJ Sims oil cooler, midmount, and Berg breather that I wont be using.
