Need a favor

[KJShover]

Those of you out there that still have the stock gauges and speedo, I need a good photograph of the speedo and instruments, Head on, or as little of angle as possible.

Gauges that are taken apart would be better, as I'm just interested in the face.
Also I need the dimensions of the speedo face, and the two circles of the stock tach and temp sensor.

Please email to kjshover (at) alaska.net

Measuring the ID of the speedo bezel i come up with 78mm
measuring OD of tachometer lense i got 53.1mm
measuring OD of temp lense i got 45.1mm
wish i had a better camera and lighting...

That's what I'm going to do. Bring them into an AutoCAD file, then tweak it with some graphics.

Then post the templates and some artwork for ppl to download and use on thier own gauges or use the blank template to make their own. Just print up the vinyl put it on your gauge faces and cover with clear vinyl.

Lets talk about that. I can provide lasercut stainless front plates with laser engraving /etching if people is interested here... Nothing major but a nice mod with brushed or polished finish or whatever can be done...

I can see how easy it would be to change the small dials but how do you get into the speedo without breaking it?

Holy shit

Is the restricted version only showing 190 Kph in the speedo?... Poor fellows

I have heard of guys successfully opening the crimp on the bezel when installing a SPA tach. I had heard of guys destroying the speedo trying it as well.

It is easier to use a dremel tool, with a cutting wheel or cutting bit, than to try and wield a file.

Not only does it show 190kph but there is (was) a fancy bit of electronics hidden behind that cuts power to the coils before you approach 190 (on a private race track/autobahn)

I have a very nice bin where to put those electronics if i had one of those...
