SpeedHut gauge panel, possible limited run - Any interest? Options

[tygaboy]

EDIT on 6/6/2021
I made 6 SpeedHut gauge panels today. See my post on page 4 of this thread for a "fresh off the plasma table" pic.

If you're still interested, I should have these ready to go in a week or so.

- these are .063 3003 aluminum
- they will not be painted
- they do not have the raised stamping for the dimmer
- they are set up for a 4.5" center gauge, 4" outer gauges
- 3 have holes for the dimmer, 3 don't

$35 plus shipping from 94952.

Yes, I'd said $20 earlier but that was a year ago and I was being too generous with my time and consumables. Just be thankful I'm not making them out of wood. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Let me know if you're interested. I'll probably make more once I get more material.
Thanks again for your patience.
Chris


EDIT on 6/24/20:
To the interested parties who've already contacted me or posted here to date:

The plasma table is back in action so now I'm tuning the design. See my post from today (6/24) for the latest updates re: what's new and what I still have to do.

As to price, it'll be the same thing I try and pull off whenever I do stuff for friends:
Cost of materials and consumables and you buy me a coffee if we ever meet.

I'm thinking $20 plus shipping.

Thanks for your patience.

For those using or contemplating SpeedHut gauges, you'll find they are just a bit undersized compared to the stock gauges and require some sort of wrapping or spacer in order to fit well in the stock panel.

I opted to give a go to working up a replacement panel and as I was making it, I thought, while I'm cutting one, I could cut a few more, if there was interest.

This is V1 and it needs a couple minor tweaks, but you get the idea.

Note that it has a 90 degree fold along the bottom edge that I'll stretch so the panel curves a bit, like the factory part.

This one is .060 aluminum but I could do steel, too.

Would anyone be interested in one?

PM me, thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

I came across the post for custom instrument cluster face. I am interested in purchasing one if you are still making them. I live locally, so can even pick up and pay cash. Thanks, Jonathan

@harlespeed@yahoo.com Jonathan - Since you're local (and I'm all about the social aspects of our community, enjoy meeting fellow 914 fans, etc.), you come by and you can make one. I'll show you how to plasma cut the panel and how to use the various tools to complete the part. You end up with something custom and get to say "I made it!" Yes, this will take longer than if I just did it for you but what fun is that?
You pay for materials (about $10) and buy me a coffee.
If that sounds OK to you, let me know and we'll get something on calendar.

Chris, That sounds like a fun deal! I assume you will PM me and we can trade #s and let me know times and dates that work for you. Thanks! Jonathan
