im guessing late summer on this project boys, if you need one in a hurry, id suggest getting the one off of ebay......so little time for new product development these days.
this is one of those things i would love to do, time permitting. What would really be cool is to have one that follows the contour of the steering column trim with the two gages mounted in that, then use some crazy double faced 3M product to adhere it to the trim.
So do you guys care if the aluminium mount fully covers the depth of the gage. In other words, Im going to waste a load of material if these are built a full 1-1/2" deep vs. building them 1" deep
Also, would you consider hot gluing/siliconing the gages in place...that little clamp mechanism is gonna complicate things slightly.
lol, most of the gauges have metal casings, with the plastic gauge pods, there is some forgiveness, with aluminium there isnt...
I should be able to incorporate the clamp mechanisim into these...but here is one mocked up for the P10 column trim. This fits the curvature exactly, and is reversable
On the B13 that i have, i can position the gauges right above the switches on the side, giving a good view of the pods and the regular speedo/tach cluster.
From what i can see, all the platforms have unique column trim, so it looks like ill be doing them for the P11, P10, B14, B13 at this point in time....well, come mid december anyway.
Once i get the other trim pieces, ill post up some PDF's of the general idea that way you guys can download, print, cut and test fit a piece of paper that will give you the idea.
