ACES shift light questions

[ChrisC]

Hi All

 

I have just been given a ACES Shift light and mounting bracket as a present and I have spent the last couple of hours trying to find pictures of a factory install, unfortunately there are a lot of broken links :(

 

I have an aeroscreen and tonneau cover and I know the bracket mounts forward of the tonneau and centred over the speedo and tacho, so my questions are

 

1, Can someone confirm the distance from the scuttle edge the mounting bracket should be (just in case I fit a screen at a later date)

 

2, Where should the light wiring hole go on the scuttle panel?

 

3, Where does the factory locate the Control Module?

 

Hope someone can help

I've taken a couple of photos of mine (here). They're on an S3 R400D, with full windscreen.

 

To answer your questions:

 

1. The distances between scuttle edge and mounting rivets are 50mm (left) and 55mm (right).

2. The wire disappears, Alice-like, through a hole (with grommet) in front of and slightly to the right of the lefthand rivet, 70mm in from the scuttle edge. Most of the grommet sits under the edge of the screen.

3. See photo #2.

 

Edited for wrong units -- only a magnitude out!
