Hi all, I went to install the new traffic viewer I had purchased, but was not sure of a few things. I have attached the instructions I have. The picture for the truck installation shows the hole to be lined up with the knob. Is this the light knob? Choke knob? It also does not give the distance from the windshield trim to the hole. The car installation shows 1 1/4". The truck picture makes it look like half-way across the dash. Does anyone know the correct placement? The viewer I have also seems to be loose. I think it should be tight, or it will rattle, correct? Thanks for any help.
Accessory Manual I Think is For Cars,I have Not Seen One for Correct Placement for The Viewer For The Truck Dash,However Talking With a Couple Guys Who Had Installed Them They Picked The Most Comfortable Spot Just Right Of the Speedo Hump On the Dash and It Should Be Tight Not Loose and Just Tight Enough so You Can Adjust it
I mounted mine on a magnetic base so I could move it as i needed and no more holes in my dash. Its hard to place with the outside sunvisor so this made it easy to put where it needed and could do the best job. Good luck! Mike
Correct Me If I am Wrong, But I have Heard That With Today's Traffic Signals placed Were they are, From Yesterdays Signals Being In The Middle Of the Intersection That the Viewers Are More Of a Novelty Item Today as They Don't Really Work all That Well With Today's Traffic Lights Were They Are Placed? I Don't have a Viewer In My Trucks so Cant Tell You If They Really Work Or Not! Allen
I think you are about 95% right but they sure look COOOOOOOOOOOL ! My truck is not on the road yet but the visor and the vewier are. Mike
Mike, I am Into Anything That Is COOOOOOOOOOOL That Is Why I Do Plan On Putting Them In My 58&59, Especially When People Ask What They Are And Have No Clue! Heck, anyone Who Has a Old 55-59Truck To Me are Cool,So That Make's anyone On This Forum WAY COOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!! RIGHT?
Same here Cameo! I luv it when your kids or some ones elses lookes into the floor board and ask: "What's that silver thing?" (the dimmer switch) or what's that to the right of the gas pedal?(starter pedal). I think those are just unreal. I herd one time "it's not a real truck unless it has 5 pedals" HAGD! Mike
