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. I see the OP posted above in the thread (post #12) the measured thicknesses. Its worth noting that if you do replace the plastic lenses with glass, then either use a bezel that came with OG glass lens, OR match the thickness of the plastic with the replacement glass. If you don't, re-crimping the bezel will be a bear of a task. Ask me how I know..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) - Tony PS. @Iankarr Excellent video there! |
