iani Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 For those of you with an AFR gauge, how are you routing the wiring into the cockpit area? I have a portable LM-2 unit, however, I have decided to plumb it in permanently via a bung I had welded into the final stage of my tubular manifold. I now need to route the cable into the car, just wondering how others have achieved this? Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foster461 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Ian, I have an Innovate sensor. It has a small control module which sits on the flat panel next to the battery and the wiring just goes through one of the big grommets used for the loom. My TR6 is LHD so it was all pretty straightforward. Stan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WWT338J Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Ian I have the same system as you. I ran the cable from the lambda sensor through an existing hole in the R side of the bulkhead into the passenger compartment. The LM2 controller sits on the gearbox cover just under the heater. I can fish it out easily if I want but I leave it there because I have an AFT gauge mounted on the dash support bracket where the radio would normally be.

TriumphV8 Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 I would look for LC-2 or better MTX, what has all the electronic in the instrument. You can put that into the glove box and if required open the front panel and if not it does not disturb the impression of an old car. LM is more for aquiring data and setting the engine than permanent use. The box is pretty large and without additional instrument difficult to read under permanent use.

I’ve owned the LM-2 for years, previously I have only used the exhaust clamp for the sensor however. When I bought my tubular manifold, I had a bung fitted and I thought I’d see how I get on with it. Once my PI issues are fully resolved I will remove the sensor and the LM-2 can go back in its box, for now it’s attached to the windscreen via the suction mount and I’ve routed the sensor cable via the speedo cable grommet.

TRTOM2498PI Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Hi Ian, I have a Lambda installed on my 6, and comes in via the N/S tunnel, after drilling a small hole for the wiring. My AFR gauge is mounted on the side (N/S), of the H-frame, with a bespoke bracket. It is angled at the driver, so that it is always visible, and does not impact on gear selection and passengers legs, etc. If you send me your e-mail address, I can send you a picture of the installation. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
