Problem
A Powertune digital dash normally goes into a JZS171 by cutting out the factory instrument cluster, which is not reversible.
What I did
  • Measured the packaging envelope off the car and modelled the column shroud and dash unit.
  • Designed a base plate that clamps to the column shroud and a bracket that carries the dash on a hinge line, so it swings clear of the cluster.
  • Printed fitment prototypes and revised the bracket against the car.
Result
Digital dash fitted with the factory cluster retained and readable. Fully reversible, with no cutting of the cluster, hood or column trim.
