Mustang gauge pod mounted to firewall
.
Note: Mk. II frame shown
.
11. Use the pod as a template to mark and drill the mounting holes in the aluminum using a ⅛ ” drill bit.
12. Mount using the screws provided in the kit. Use flat nuts on the back of each screw. A cool way to
mount the pod is with the screws coming from the engine bay side and the flat nuts holding the pod.
This way you cannot see screw ends when looking into the engine bay and only see the chromed
screw heads.
13. The dash harness gauge pod connectors can then be pushed into the pod connectors. These are tight,
so click them into the white housing before drilling.
Ignition and Turn Stalk
TOOLS: Hack saw,

” socket,
9

” drill bit, drill.
PARTS: D ash Electrical Components (FFR# 13327), Mustang ignition switch and turn signal stalk
1.
Mount the turn signal stalk with the stalk pointed towards the seat as high as possible between the
plate steel that also holds the windshield and the vertical ¾” tubing next to it. The switch spans the
gap. Use two 1” screws and a
5

16
” socket and
9

” drill bit.
2. The ignition switch mounts under the turn signal stalk on the 2”x 2” frame hoop that has the door
hinge mounted to it. With the door closed, mount the switch as close to the hinge as possible without
hitting it. Use two 1” screws and a
5 /
16
” socket and 9 /
64
” drill bit.
3. The turn signal stalk can be cut shorter so that when it’s mounted it will not protrude past the dash lip.
If you want to cut the stalk length, do it after the dash is installed and you have sat in the car to see if
it is needed. Cut half of the length first. Do not worry about the pieces that fall out, they are for the
Mustang wipers and are not used. Re-use the end cap and epoxy glue it to the newly cut stalk to give
it a nice finished look.
