I'm looking into a few alternatives to the avaliable polished gauge rings at the moment. I need the exact measurements for the diameter inside the face plate (the cutaway circle) for the 4 gauges to show through. I also need depth from the face plate of the instrument pannel to the face of the actual gauges set behind. I think they are the same for the tacho/speedo and temp/fuel - right?
Here's some pics... Large Small Same measurements on each side. As the outer sides (what you see from the front) are slightly curved, means it appears larger than what you'd have to fit in there. So by my calculations using a standard measuring tape (not an electronic measuring device): Large slot: outer = 100mm, inner 95mm Smaller slot: outer = 60mm, inner = 57mm Depth of gauge slots: 5mm Hope this helps!
Cheers, That's what I'm after. By the way, when I'm done I'll probably have a few differant sets (variations) and I'll post them up and make them avaliable if there are any interested members.
i want to get some that look like the ones in the mazda 3 how awesome would they be i hope thats what you are making lol
lol now that would be cool... for those that don't know, here's pics of the dash in my new Mazda 3 that many here think would look sweet in the Z:
Mazda is just a 'trendy' Honda. They do nothig but remind me of my bitchin' ex who drives one just 'because they have a nice colour and 17's from factory' Gay. "I'm On VTEC Yo!!!"
Hmmm... Well, with baggage like that, no wonder you hate them... ...hope you never break up with someone who drives a Z! That could be awkward - might begin calling yourself gay...?
