Well, how many sqft is your garage. Mine is 1,200 sqft and it was $4500. after t a 10% discount for being retired military. Is that Canadian $$ you’re quoted.

Just over 1000 sq ft is the quote including pony walls at $8 sq ft Cdn with military discount.
Plus steps, plus crack repair (minor).

Finally received my digital to analogue tachometer converter. The Haltech sends a digital signal that needs to be converted into the old school coil signal for the tach to work properly. 
Pretty simple solution using one of these converters made by Gene. He’s on eBay and sells cool little gadgets like this for a reasonable price.

I like how that fits into a standard relay base.

[wheee!]

Makes for a neat and simple installation.

Cleaned up the old turn signal lenses with some wet sanding and polishing. 30 minutes well spent!

All by hand or did you use a buffer of any kind?  Plastic is so easy to melt with a buffer.

[wheee!]

Hand sanding and then polishing with a wool pad at low rpm by hand.

Double post...

I got the Tach Adapter installed today! It even has a start-up sweep!!

Hmmm. I had turn signals and flashers working before. All the wiring is good. Good grounds. Indicator lights in dash come on solid but don’t blink.
I swapped all the bulbs to leds and added electronic flasher units but now the flashing has stopped working from either the turn signals or the emergency switch. Any brilliant thoughts I should look into first?
