@JamesJ My buddy James is looking to run SpeedHut gauges so I whipped one up for him. I sold the plasma table so used the file I had from my earlier efforts and had SendCutSend cut the needed piece. ~$20 for .063" 6061 aluminum.
I though some of you might enjoy a quick look into what I do to add the final touches. If you want the .dxf file, message me and I can send it. Chris https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YR5IkOBywc |

BTW, SpeedHut now offers adaptors that allow their gauges to fit Porsche gauge openings, rendering these custom panels totally unnecessary! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
