8/1977 FJ40 Instrument cluster adapter (1 Viewer)

[hey you]

Greetings all,

Years ago a photo was posted of what looks like an adapter (male pins) that would plug into the instrument barrel connector. Does anyone know who makes it or has a source for one?

[hey you]

I'm considering installing a Dakota Digital Instrument panel (I know, I know).
I wanted to find a way to piggyback a socket on the barrel cluster to tap into the circuits (oil, water, fuel senders, turn signals, 12v ignition, ground, ETC) instead of cutting into the wiring harness.

I'm looking for a way to keep it simple, clean, and not molest the harness.

I have the same puzzle to solve now too. How did this work out for you?

I used electrical wiring 12v pins that fit into the factory barrel connector, similar to pins on the instrument panel. They were a tight fit and then I taped the cluster to keep it from vibrating loose. Seems to be working! A better solution would be a 3D printed adapter/connector that would be plug and play!
