Default Ti Gauge setup

Does anyone have interest in this setup??

I want one for my car, so I just ordered ABS plastic and the hole saws to make it

Problem is I had to order a large sheet because of the minimums for orders. Looking to help offset some of the cost. I can sell with or without gauges.

Props to Ron Stygar for the idea, drawings and instructions.

I have thought about making this gauge bezel in CAD and having it rapid prototyped.

that sheet was much cheaper than what I paid, but I think I got much more quality plastic.

I have one that Ron made.
One of these days I'll install it.

But, they are really in a poor viewing position there.
I wouldn't be able to see the right gauge in 3rd and 5th.

How much are you thinking of selling them for? I've been considering finding a location for a coolant and oil temp gauges. One piece of ABS there might do it, and still leave space for the cig lighter and alarm light and mic....

Yeah, can I custom order just two gauges (Middle and far right, for Vac/boost and oil pressure)? And if you could somehow make space on the far right for the cig lighter plug, if not, that's ok. But I'll take one for $25. You could probably ship first class with that light of a thing in a jiffypack.
