Happen to measure the thickness of the glass?
I've got a guy that will cut glass cheap but my later gauge, with the plastic lens, is about half as thick. Same thing with my 944 combo gauge, only 1/16" or so thick. |

Same thing with my 944 combo gauge, only 1/16" or so thick. Here ya go... this is original glass. 2.92mm / .115 inches (or 7/64). I replaced the ones on my gauges and just told the glazier to match the thickness. keep in mind that if you powder coat the rings you may need a slightly thinner glass. These lenses are installed under surprisingly tight tolerances and if the glass/ring combo is too thick, there won’t be enough metal left to re-crimp.  |
