redmex Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Today's progress..I thought of many ideas for mounting the Oil pressure gauge, I fear if I just start slapping gauges about it may lead to other slack mods making it a chavy motor Before you know it I'll be hanging around chip shops wearing a pair of pumps So I got a piece of old dash trim like so... http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/30093.jpg Standard before hacker time! http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/30094.jpg Getting there, butted in as close as i could.. just super glue'd the edges to hold it in position for the first fix.. http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/30095.jpghttp://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/30096.jpg I managed to cut most of the shaping with a set of snap-on tin snips.. Next bit is to make the mount for the gauge and bond it to the inside of the panel, may beef it all up inside with resin or something, haven't thought that far yet LOL.. Then i hope to blend the joints and repaint satin black all before i need to drive it a week Friday.. More updates as it progresses Sparkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redmex Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 awesome mate,thats what i would do if i was going to mount another gauge.CheersThere is enough room behind the panel but you do need to open it up a bit.. Here's today's update.. After a second coat of glue and a rough rub down I ended up with this as the raw structure... http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/30097.jpg So i offered it up to the dash "without the nasty clips!" to see what gets in the way http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/30098.jpg So I made a hole, you might notice its an odd shape.. Thats because the dash is stepped so some of it clears the switch without mods http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/30099.jpg So this is where I'm up to .. It sits in with plug fitted etc.. http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/30100.jpg Next job will be fabricating the gauge mounting panel to fit on the inside of the black panel Ive been working on Sparkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
