Xyphoid done a doco on how to do a EA-ED trip comp before the site crashed. Can't imagine there wouldn't be too much diference, but he'd be the man to talk too.

Yeah, we are having troubles with the Image Processor for the docos.... (Very loooong story).

We should have something worked out by the end of the week, though its kind of hard to put an exact time with all the stuff that is happening lately....

I had placed about 8 Docos back up on the weekend, and there are another 6 or so almost ready to go back up.

You can tell if the doco is there by checking the docos Version Number.
V3.0 Docos have been checked for accuracy, and are up to date.
V1.0 Docos work, but I havent checked them to see if there is any info missing
V0.0 Docos are empty

Hope this helps

Was it hard to do?? I have an EL Futura Classic and was told the plug is already there behind the clock. Is it as simple as just plugging it in and off I go??

Instead of starting a new thread, my globe has gone in my trippy, seems bloody hard to get the surround out? what kind of globe is it? and once i force/break the surround out, is it easy to replace the globe?.,

Yeah, the globe is easy to replace.
ITs a 2 Watt wedge type.
The globe just pops out of its holder.

Or Alternatively you can get the globe and holder for less than $4 at Ford spare parts

Not that hard at all. if you have a clock there even easier. you can use the existing wiring. if not you can spice the power and dimmer from cluster or the radio loom.
