While checking out some things tonight on the web... I see that CSP (Canada Sled Parts) offering, for sale, their gauge lifter with a high power fan.

I had been talking to Kurt at CSP about the fans since this post.

CSP builds nice quality parts... and a decent price.
It already has the rectifier kit for a safe draw from the headlight circuit, so you are not placing loads where they don't belong.

I've had great luck ordering from him in the past... Shipping was not an issue from Canada to the USA via Canada Post.

They even have a nice option to add two aux gauges to the panel.

That looks pretty sweet. I am in the market for a gauge lifter and this might be a good option. I'd like to see some pics of it mounted on a sled

Would this have enough draw to not have to do other things if you run a headlight delete on a 13 or 14? Looks like a nice product.

That is very reasonably priced. I am currently building a "blow hole" type kit for the console. I currently have the cost around $125.00 with a capacitor included in that. Without the Capacitor it would be around $105.00. So for development and products in one kit I think that is very reasonably priced. If you wanted (As Mountainhorse will tell you) you could add a capacitor for around $20.00 to stop fluctuations in power at idle.......... but, overall looks like a great kit.

For those wondering about that fan draw....... during normal operation it draws 1.9 to 2.6 amps. If the fan were stopped during operation it could go up to around 4.5 amps or so. So it would be less than 5 amps maximum. It doesn't draw much but, it is too much for the DC 2 amp ACC plug on the hood.

The fan exhausts air OUT from the highest spot on the sled.

Yes, no problem at Idle. Has it connected to the high-beam so that you can, in effect, have an on/off switch for this at your disposal...

It is connected with the sub-harness and rectifier provided in his kit.

There are other ways to power it up if you desire... see the "DC Power" thread in this very forum.

When i get a chance I am going to order one. I have there gauge lifter already and I know i can sell that.
The one without the fan when sitting heats your helmet well, just think what the fan will do while sitting with the sled at idol. Like the idea of high beam on fan on.
