I figured on a triple gauge Take-2 see the end., trying it myself - again, sigh Options

It seems that a lot of the triple gauge business involves making new holes in the back of the can. I figured I could do that. Especially after watching the threads here over and over. Thanks to all.

My problem was the gauge face. I di not want a simple cut out for the gauges. I wanted it embossed in like stock. So here is what I came up with.



The dies fit in my old cast iron hydraulic press. You can see the bottom plate in the photo. I am having some tears, but generally they are about at the cut out line (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) so maybe they are OK. I found that even with some silversmithing under my belt, I cannot do this by hand. The press makes it flat and even. A coat of high build primer, sanding for flat and trimming and a coat of satin black and I am done I think. Then I need to do some wiring.

BTW, I am looking for some balled up otherwise useless harness wires so I can match the wire colors.

That is a combination I am interested in too. Actually I would like A/F on the dash too. I bought some cans from a 924 with a quad setup of two gauges flanked by lots of idiot lights, and have played with the quad idea. More later. The gauge cans need to spread out a bit, maybe a mm, to get all 4 in. Aftermarket voltage gauge OK? I am thinking of taking one apart.

My garage is getting colder every day. Also I am at the point where I am working underneath the tub. Pressing angle grinders like dumbbells, dirt in my face and dodging weld droplets, wrapped up like a mummy in fire-proof welding canvas (from HF, so how fireproof I am not sure) makes coming in to the basement shop appealing.

I will give it a shot.
