55-56 Chevy car chrome bezel shown with lens and display opening outlines.

Next, take the supplied lens, with the lettering facing the front of the dash and place it in

the chrome bezel. Lay a bead of RTV around the back side of the lens to secure it in place.

After the RTV has cured, the display panel is ready to be placed on the bezel. If studs were

supplied with the panel, screw them into the bezel and place a nut on them before placing the

display system on it.

Be very careful not to hit the displays against anything as they are glass and will break.

Adjust the height of the panel so that the glass displays are 1/8" away from the front lens.

Applying a lock washer and nut to the studs behind the display panel, secure the display panel

to the bezel. If screws were provided with the panel, secure them through the display panel and

into the bezel. No additional holes should need to be drilled. All holes in the display systems

are pre-drilled at the factory.

CONTROL BOX

Once the display panel is in place, mount the control box within the connecting cable's

distance (approximately 3 feet) and secure to the underside of the dashboard. This case does

not have to be mounted to metal, but by doing so you will provide a better ground to the control

box. Align the connector in the socket and press firmly into the control box. The connector

locks will secure the connector.

Wiring the control box into the vehicle.

+12V

Connect the +12V terminal to accessory power from the fuse panel or vehicle wiring

harness. This terminal should have power when the key is on or in accessory position. In

addition to powering the display system, this is also where the voltmeter gauge senses the

vehicle electrical system voltage.

Use 18 AWG or larger wire to ensure the system gets good power.
