Hi,
Anyone that have a DIY description of how to rebuild a 7k Tach to a 10k Tach ? and from 4 cyl to 6. I would think that there is someone who has done this. Any potmeter adjustments, og parts that needs to be replaced ? I know that NHS does this, but would be nice to do it and just buy a new faceplate |

Yes you use an opaque poly sheet with a matte black upper finish. Then it is just getting the proper laser feed rate to to make the black go away, and then you can back light at night and have the front look almost stock during the day.
The issue I have with the design is the plastic sheet needs to be thicker than the metal it is replacing so you start to have the needles closer to the face. And if doing a 904 3 port gauge or even a quad gauge you can not do a recessed window with out the opaque section showing up. It is as easy as a CNC router to up the radius on the edge. I guess you could paint it. Maybe I should try it again, fire up the laser cutter and see what we get. Would be a fun little project.
