I bought a fiero and 'partial' kit (I need the doors/mirrors/engine hatch still).  The person I bought it from cut off the wires for the gauge cluster at the firewall!

Can any of you provide me information on what connectors I need, what wires I need to hook up, and any other info to help me with this  (if you can point to something that shows how I find the appropriate wires in the bundle of wires, it would be awesome!  The ignition/engine/breaks/etc all work - but I have 'nothing' for a guage custer.

I bought a murcie gauge printed background that mounts on plexi and fits in the murcie 'dome' for the cluster from a member and I ordered a used fiero cluster on ebay so I can get the needle mechanisms etc this gauge background is desiged to use

But I cannot find anything on how to wire these back in since he just hacked them off!

THANK YOU in advance for your help!!

Did you buy the IE build that someone was selling on ebay, just a body sitting on a stretched Fiero with all the dash wires cut off?

Yes - that is the one.  Sorry, what do you mean by 'IE' ?

I started a spot with 'build diary' pics/info at this site, but please let me know your feedback since you obviously know a ton of areas I need to learn :)

But, this wiring is the first kick in the head (OK, another is the bizarre angled roda runninf down the two sides from the back window to the back of the body)! 

I need to find details on 'proper' framing so I can fix this also

Thank you!

Interesting thought - could be.
I need to see if these really get in the way or I can leave them
I have to get everything welded up soon - this is bugging me!   The person who was going to help is constantly getting delayed  :o

Can someone send me details on mounting the replica dash?
If you look at my build diary, it shows a dash I hope to be able to use (it is a murcielago replica one, but the old G24 vesion, and is missing the center console bar that runs down along the center console)

Can I mount this 'after' hard mounting the body to the chassis, or do I have to do it first ?

Anyone who can provide details on 'proper' dash mounting would be greatly appreciated !! ;D

Thank you!
Peter

The dash cannot be set until the doors are installed and complete.

Really?  why is that? 
The original dash was removed so there is nothing except cut off wires there :0

Is the reason because i will not be able to tell what to trim off the dash edge  or ...?

Thank you as always!

Here are shots of my dashboard and center console now

Know of anyone who wants a G24 dash since I didn't use it?   ::toothy

I'm thinking one that isn't pictured? Don't think that's a g24 dash is it?

:)  No that is the one I was asking for help / details on mounting 'properly' - e.g. pointers to how to attach it solidly, etc

The G24 one I somehow corrupted the picture on and need to take some new shots since they give an incorrect format indication :(
