Cluster/Speedo Rings

[bluechro]

Alright that helps a lot. I'll grab it tomorrow and throw it in the scanner and see what it's like. I have no idea how it's going to turn out, but it's worth a shot. I'll see if i can't measure the chamfers by hand, and see what I come with.

Just out of curiosity, what use is measurement B?

[Ryan]

B one could mathematically derive, you are correct. I like to measure everything 100 times so that I know for sure what it is.... redundant habit.

[bluechro]

Oh jeez I didn't even think about that haha your a step ahead of me. I was just wondering why it was even relevant how far away the gauges were,

[Ryan]

I'm trying to figure out exactly how they are, so I could look into making one peice rings, and such.

[bluechro]

Fair enough. Alright I'll post here tomorrow afternoon/evening.

[Ryan]

Since i have nothing better to do, I might too. Attempt to actually get it out of there... I have the dash without the vents in it... I'll just pull stuff off untill I can get behind it. Hopefully I don't have any mystery screws when I'm done :)Oh and it can be a two day project, because I don't NEED to drive anywhere untill friday

[Ryan]

Those are one step before final measurements.
Tomorrow i'll edit this post with a computer generated idea of how they will turn out.
I'm excited
oh, and for search...

How thick are you making the rings? I am in for a set.

Nevermind, I just seen the 3mm thick on the top of the last pic.

[Ryan]

Thats how thick the plate covering the guages is. I'll make one set and see how they fit, and since i don't have aluminum that could be 3mm thick, plus some to stick out, i might have to double layer and fasten them together, or find some seriosuly thick aluminum I'll play with it today...

I know you can buy them off of ebay. I'm fabricating them for fun, and to share if they look decent. saves 40 bucks, no?

[mx3optidrive]

I have the bezel, I thought you were making the rings only. I was going to get the rings and just attach them to my bezel to give it a bit of a 3-D look. If you are making the bezel, I am not interested. I just want a set of rings.

[Ryan]

Getting the contour of the bezel would be waay to difficult, and I have no way to get the specs for it. I actually think it would be so complicated to measure..... not worth it. the bezel its worth to buy. I am attempting to make the rings give me a week yet to get them good

[Ryan]

Okay, I got the go-ahead from our best friend Jeff, and I will be selling these for $2 or $3 ( or more, if you're feeling generous...) plus shipping IF they turn out okay. If they suck... I guess you could still take some ;P. Once I've decided if they're worthy or not, I'll start a new thread in the group buy section, and take orders from there. But its nice to have an idea of how many I should expect...
