just a bit of an update,still doing tests on alarm,and getting some good results,as you will see in the pics,not very good as i took them with my phone,the alarm does make your gauge perform differently and gives different readings as engine warms up.

the piece of tape is so i can get some idea of different readings,from normal to halfway and 3/4 on gauge,

got a few more variations of settings to test this week,and maybe have some idea if alarm is going to work soon.

It's possible that an identical unit will not perform so well in the next Bongo, but there is only one way to find out.

Paul9, if/when you give the OK on the first production unit and send the test unit back to me, I'll set that test unit up the same as your first production unit and supply it to the second Bongo customer. That way if it doesn't perform the same there are some immediate options to make adjustments with the switches inside the test unit and refine the design - slightly I'd hope. Then I'd swap the test unit for another production one as I've done for you.

I won't be building any quantity until it's clear that it's worth fitting the Mason alarm into a Bongo.

i have just got another bongo,taking it for mot next week,if i get chance i will try my unit on that one shall i?maybe a week or so before i get any results but will give it a go,Paul.

Well, Paul, that's certainly an easy way to get a second result.

I'll send you a second alarm cable then you won't have to take the first cable out.

Hi all,

This has gone quiet - any news on the testing?

I would be very interested in this type of enhancement for our Bongo Joanie.

Regards Grahame

recieved second cable from dave now ,and still working on it,the one i have been testing seems fine on my bongo,but may give different results on other vehicles,just waiting to test on my other bongo, probably tomorrow if it passes mot,then maybe know a little bit more.

ok fitted alarm to second bongo,will have to wait until tomorrow 19th to see if it performs the same as on my other bongo,no mot at moment but is booked in tomorrow,will update asap.

i fitted the alarm to my other bongo and it performed the same way as when fitted to original bongo,dave mason has made a few more and they are on sale now via his link,they are being sold on a first come basis,so anyone want to try one out get in touch with dave.

very simple to fit and a very usefull addition.

It would have been a nice jester if you had asked permision to use a photo of my bongo before you used it on your commercial web site DAVE MASON.
