TA & RA custom dashes

[13btt lotus]

i can take some more if you want?? biggest advice is when fitting the 3 smaller gauges, use a hand file, and cut in a circular motion, only cut a couple of rubs worth from the plastic before test fitting the gauges, you want them to be hard to push in, so they will be a tight fit and keep in the correct place.

the tacho and the speedo both are slightly smaller than the hole, for this make up a MDF spacer and paint or cover in vinal, ive not yet done this, i put a layer of speaker box carpet around the mounting surface and pushed them in as a test fit, they dont move so they stayed like that, will do it properly at some point as the way it is was ment to stay like that for only a couple of days hahaha

what size guages? 2 1/16 and 3 3/8??

[13btt lotus]

yeah the smaller ones that are now in the dash are 2-1/16, and the tach and speedo i think are closer to 4 or 5 inch, can measure them and get back to you next week...

[tubby]

does any one know where u can buy a glass dash?

[Major Clod]

I'm doing something very similar to Mikey except with brushed steel. I did have an Altezza cluster in there as it came with my beams halfcut, but I think I'm going to ditch it for some individual gauges.

I see a few of you guys running Speedhut gauges, how do you find them? Are they good quality?

[bigmat]

yeah quality is good for price. ill do a little utube thing i think so you guys can see there stuff.
