Hydra mount options, need opinions

[ja_cain]

I would look on digikey or mouser once you figure out the connector type. I remember when I used to build pc's back in the day you could replace the ribbon cables that went from the mb to the drives and different ports (usb, serial, firewire, etc) with a molex type connector. It basically replaced the ribbon with individual wires which you could then squeeze together to make a round type cable. Here is an example of the molex connectors. Tyco would be another to check out.

Problem with the round switch like a TS uses. Imagine trying to either count 17 different positions or having some sort of backing plate exact and accurate enough to work for all positions.

The one DP uses has the digital display one the round switch.

Switch Option For Hydra

I wish PHP would offer TS style switch again too.

They do offer a couple of good options though if you don't like the standard Hydra Switch. One is a gauge pod option with a 2-1/16" gauge pod style digital selector that fits in a standard pod for $62 and comes with a longer ribbon cable for pillar mount. Another is a completely wireless option via Cyclops that links via blue tooth to your cell phone for $162. Kinda pricey but a good option that keeps your dash origonal.
