QUOTE You don't want fibreglass in the cabin because when it breaks it splinters IMHO, if you get involved in a crash bad enough to cause any damage to the dash and gauge cluster, just imagine what kind of impact it would have to be.......you'll be picking metal out of your body before any of the 'glass fibers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

QUOTE(Mueller @ Mar 22 2004, 09:25 AM) IMHO URAHOMO? Yeah we discussed this here when Andy got his c/f 911 dash, people said the same thing. I'd like to play with the materials to see how much flex is acheived before it fails. |

Fiid,
I can easily cut them on my laser. You could then have them anodized if you wish. Many cool colrs available in anodize finish. |

What about that frontpanelexpress company that Megasquirt talks about in the assembly instructions?
You could draw the whole panel in their software and get a price quote. It would be interesting to see how much it would cost. I think they offer anodizing and everything. |

Those guages are avaialble all day long in JC Whitney and Jegs catalogs. They are pretty inexpensive too ($39 - $59)

Use at least one more bolt than you think you need (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

WestTach has a reasonable looking fuel guage - I wonder if it will work okay with our stock senders? It might be possible to add some resistors to make it work right....
