A-9s custom brackets for custom mini speedometers

Here's the answer to the turn signal issue. Just go to your local Radio Shack and pick up 2 diodes. They'll have them in little drawer probably toward the back of the store. They look like little cylinders. Solder them in just like shown in the diagram I have linked HERE. Then both turn signals will work and trigger the indicator light. It's pretty simple once you know how, but it took me forever to figure it out. Good luck. All the other hook ups should work just fine. The only one that doesn't work without the diodes is the turn signal one. I wrote down somewhere how every wire should be hooked up to stock. I'll find it and post it here.

I have the speedo from mikes already wired up, my bracket kinda sucks, I wouldn't mind one of the ones you made. It looks a lot better than mine. What would I need to do to get my hands on one. I don't need the slotted one cause I can just disconnect the wiring harnes.

D9,
These brackets look terrific. I hope you don't mind if I post a link to this thread in the Triumph Twin Mod Links Page. Those mini speedos really clean up the front end - makes you want to do something about those pumpkin-sized indicators though. Maybe I'll flick through to your indicator shortening thread. I've got a bit of a slow week ahead of me, so I might have a go at making a couple of your bar-end mirror brackets too.

Sweat,
I'm also curious to see what can be done to improve the position of the stock gauges, though I'm sure that you'll have quite a bit more room to play with than the rest of us, having already lowered your light. Mind you, those mounting lugs on the yoke come up a fair way and, if you went the way of mounting the gauges from bellow the yoke, the coresponding holes in the lower surface come in at a pretty sharp angle and there would still be the upper lugs to tidy up somehow - short of a bit of grinding and powder coating. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
Meanwhile, I'd still love to see if I could incorporate an oil pressure and/or temp gauge into the face of the tach somehow (in a similar way to which the lights are mounted within rod's and lox's speedos).
