This is my design for a new dash layout. The idea is that it should be possible to see the guages through a momo wheel.

One hardly needs CNC machinery to make something like this. With some patience, a hand drill, a file, and a nibbling tool, this could be made from a sheet of Al or steel quite easily. I've made decent simple dashes out of 2mm Al using nothing but hand tools.
Look at www.egauges.com to get an idea of what VDO gauges are available and how much they cost. One issue is I'm unsure if an aftermarket 2 1/16" gauge is available from VDO or anyone else that matches the stock fuel level sender. egauges doesn't list one, and I've not seen one on any other online store. Have you tried making a paper or cardboard template to try out the visibility of this dash with a smaller wheel? My knee jerk reaction is you'll be able to see the tach and speedo fine, but you won't be able to see the fuel or temp gauges. Either the wheel or your hands will block the view. |
