    Bit late…but this how mine are done.Angled to driver and easy to see.

    Heads up display with tach,water,oil temp and pressure would be a nice set up if available.

    Those pods on the top of the console look nice. Are they off the shelf of did you make them?

    There is just some really cool stuff around these days I reckon. I love the fact you can configure them to show whatever you want. Btw, made some great progress with your gauge plate this week end, just printing out the (hopefully) finished version. If all goes to plan I have actually been able to do it so the gauges sit exactly inside the top and bottom edges of the cover plate so it functions perfectly. Took a bit of doing, so fingers crossed

     

    Thanks Gary. Look forward to seeing what you have come up with.

    Made them up out of 2″ exhaust pipe and then had them chromed.

    And we have one finished prototype. Took a bit of work modelling I have to say.  Its a tricky space to work with tapering back like it does, I actually had a few goes at it to get it right.   You need to relive the back section of the actual console to fit the gauges, I used a hole saw on the one i have as a prototype.  The lid closes with no mods.  I reckon it should look very neat all done.

    I do plan to give it a go. I think a mate of mine might have some left over from his dash. I’ll have to borrow some off him to do it.

    Even better, I like things that people don’t notice unless they look closely.  :good:

    Agreed, but I really meant there wont be that much of the mount exposed that you will see it flocked.  But it certainly will be nice and stealthy :good:

    That’s exactly what I want. Was trying to do just that, but surrounds material seems hard to source.

     

    Cheers

    Sorry wrong quote was meant for this one.

    This is what I was hoping to do using an ABS plastic pipe/tubing material. Years back I remember you could buy the pod surrounds like that already angled so you could fit them individually to gauges. made from a light black plastic material.

    Cheers
