Looks factory. Really nice job. :tup:
Thanks. There are some slight air pockets in the part due to the heat cure. I am going to try a room temp cure resin next.
Nice work Luke. Does the airbag still work? I believe those are two different generations of airbag, so they might operate differently.
Love the creativity. Good work. :tup:
It does still work. Due to the different generations the connections on the Airbag are different than the MR2 harness. Toyota sells an “adapter,” that is more like a patch cable, which is used on the curtain airbag in the RAV4. It just so happens that this cable uses the same 2 mating connectiors as the MR2 Airbag Harness and Celica Air Bag. Who knew? So it is Plug and Play. You can see the wire harness here under the air bag:
Here is the OEM Wire:
I had to do some research and some modifications (Shown in the above picture) but I even got the newer generation steering wheel Cruise Control Stalk to work with the OEM Module:
I hate not having shit work. Even if I never use it that much or even need it. I am usually pretty good about that.
Good stuff. Chunky early 90 steering wheels are so lame. This is a good mod.
Well I finally got it NAILED:
No bubbles and it looks PERFECT. I will installed it permanently this weekend.
Secret recipe was Polytek 1410 Part A and Polytek 1470 Part B in a 4:5 ratio. Cures at room temp in 8 hours with a post cure at 150°F for 12 hours.
I had a chance to get this back in the car. This is by far my favorite mod thus far. It will be hard to top.
Comparison:
Let me know what you guys think.
i like it. i think the rings around the gauges help a ton too.
