Hey guy's, I got my new RTE voltage limiter in the mail today and was wondering if anyone has ever installed their's with the rallye dash still in the car? I pulled off the steering bracket and the little cover and it appears that the bracket that the wires run through is butted right up againstit. It's more like to the outer edge of the limiter. Or can I pull it out at a slight angle and put the new limiter in the same way? It's a 69 Superbee. Thanks! Dave.

That's what I was hoping for is a little sloppiness in the prongs and slots they go into. But mine looks like it will come out from the drivers side of the limiter due to the bracket that the taped wires pass thru in are on the passenger side of the limiter just covering about 1/8 of a inch of the limiter. I think if I pry it out with a screw driver it should come right out. I may be able to bend that bracket just enough to get the new one in. It's right above the steering column and you can get small fingers in there to touch it. Thanks, Dave.

Disconnect the battery, and then pull the radio..
Just takes 4 screws for the panel and loosen the rear support bracket. Now reach in and pull out the VR..

Takes about 10 minutes..

Just my $0.02...

First off I'd like thank God for giving me small hands and body so I can squeeze into tight places... Got it in. I started by going thru the radio opening. Boy was that stupid! No way can you even get past the first two gauges let alone fit at least a foot or so of your arm in a 69 B body radio opening. I removed the screws holding the faceplate on cause I remembered that it will give you about and 1/8 of flex or movement near the limiter area. Then I dropped the steering column bracket and the lower plastic steering cover. Worked my upper body up underneath the drivers side and reached up and removed the speedometer and that allowed me to grab onto the limiter with my fingers. I had to use a screw driver to pry it out from underneath the dash and that took about 20 mins. So it does take a little working it to get it out and the new one out but if your small enough it can be done. All in all it took me 40 mins.

Did you do it with a console still in, or is yours a none console?
