triple progress, now with carbon fiber Options

[worn]

I was hoping to have this put together but had an argument with a bag of concrete mix and now I have either a herniated disc or a stress fracture. L4 - my favorite. So, it is all I can do to sit at the computer for a half hour. I still am hoping to do WCR, but that is 4,000 miles for me in a 914. Heal faster (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Anyway here is what we got:

Started with the dies from an earlier attempt. Smooth out the old and mill the new


I bought a rotating table and the mill for this project. Well and other things too


First step was making the clamps.

I also made a punch so the I can start with the holes for lights and maintain registration


That gives me this:


Ready to press. I spent a lot of time setting things up for a pin router to cut out the gauge windows, but that didn't work out. So I have the dies and the sheet ready to form.

Beautiful work.
I could definitely use one of these on my conversion.
Imagine that you are going to let us all know when you have some kits ready.

Yep. I guess that is the way things are going. The assumption is that a kit user would not have obsessed over this like I have. I want to make sure that no one has to remake a bunch of parts to make such a kit work OK. That is why I want to assemble things a few times to make sure that I have everything smoothed out.

Along the way I have found that you can follow old threads to find people who will help you make one.

For some reason, these things are associated with conversion builds - perhaps in cases where a center console is absent. But I find myself looking at oil pressure with a 4 cylinder engine too.
