    Custom Gauge Design and Creation

    I'm back finally with a second edition and now a third edition being worked on. Note: this picture was taken in artificial darkness (I.E. blanket over me and the cluster) rather than at night. Second edition goals: -Thicken Black (I've heard that Staples has a thicker transparency that soaks...

    What's the deal on the needles?

    Well, I didn't see your first post so no harm no foul. I've taken off and put back on my needles - The speedo doesn't seem to go down properly anymore. It only decreases when I brake and even then it's only after I've had the brake depressed for a few seconds. I am going to open up the dash...

    What's the deal on the needles?

    Thanks for the info, I'd like to ask a few more questions on what you wrote for clarification. What exactly do you mean by pulling and press? I am guessing that you mean for me to press in on the top and bottom edges of the round circle part of the dial while pulling it off. Is that right...

    What's the deal on the needles?

    Hi, I've just registered here because I have been having a lot of trouble getting a straight answer on a few questions I have on modifying my gauge cluster. I plan to make my own gauge faces - not EL, just regular with LEDs shining through. I have plans and methods on making the faces...
