Noiin Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 its for fuel.. cuz the speedo and temp work i hope this will be easy :confused: Quote Link to comment
jovial_cynic Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Get your self a soldering gun and solder that back up after securing it in place with some JB weld or something. That's a super easy fix. You just have to expose the wire so the solder will make contact. Quote Link to comment
Weaver Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 I'm sure you could scrape the green coating off the metal and solder the leads back together. Quote Link to comment
Noiin Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 thanks alot :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment
gen4maxima536 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Clean it, superglue the board inbetween the two traces, clean the traces to bare copper and throw some solder on there thats what i'd try Quote Link to comment
LAYEDOUTB2K Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 +1 on soldering and superglueing or jb welding the board together. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 yes, you can, but Id replace it if you can. thats more of a band aid fix and I dont recommend it (I build boards and shit before I got laid off) Quote Link to comment
Noiin Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 someone might have a instrument panel ..sittin around?? for a 411 or 67' 520? well lets see the board for the 411 is good BUT no needles and the board that is cracked is from the 520 witch everything is good.. just that little crack just trying to make one good panel for my 411:D Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Would a 521 work? Might be easier to find one. They look the same! Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 someone might have a instrument panel ..sittin around??for a 411 or 67' 520? well lets see the board for the 411 is good BUT no needles and the board that is cracked is from the 520 witch everything is good.. just that little crack just trying to make one good panel for my 411:D The 520 guts should fit into the 411 housing. Scrape the green plastic conformal coating off the copper traces on either side of the crack. Tin and solder on 2 jumpers, preferable not solid wire but braided wire, say 20 gauge across the crack and if possible epoxy a piece of printed circuit perforated board [sold by radio shack for science fair kit building] across the crack. The perforations will bond to the epoxy and the motherboard and forn a repair at least as strong as the original motherboard, which after all did crack. An alternative is to remove the speedometer and 2 gauges from the 520 and do a heart transplant into the 411 motherboard. Might not be easier, but you know that the board will fit. The 411 motherboard has a voltage regulator, not sure if the 520 has one without digging into my reference materials which are safely locked in my tool box. Good luck, wish you were closer.

Noiin Posted May 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 yea it would be kool it one or 2 of you guys lived closer i like working and fixing up my car.. but sometimes run into things like this. ill see if i can solder it together. if it work in the truck. ill keep it like that for a wile. but i guess ill just keep the extra parts. since im selling my truck:D Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 glue the trace back down. get a scalpel and scrap the trace so the copper is exposed. get some wire and some solder and some flux and should work OK. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 get some wire and some solder and some flux and should work OK. flux will help a ton; I prefer liquid. also try to get some thin (like 18-20g wire thin) rosin core solder, it spreads much nicer than strait solder and makes the job alot easier Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I would solder a short piece of wire there, so that if the board cracks again, the wire will handle it. Quote Link to comment
