i suppose this is a done deal

 

[teleskier]

I need one too!

 

[RS6tofj80]

Still avail ?? would love one for my HJ45.....

 

[eaj71]

Never hear from the guy
Cool idea but it was like $300?

Maybe he could chime in?

At $300- there would be nothing in it for the guy making them, just the tach would take half of that.

I got one a few years ago and now have it in my ute. looks really smart. tried emailing the guy but never heard back as I would like another one as well. Its a good product, shame if he isn't doing it anymore.

Looks like its been about 4 years since the last post from the op. I have both a Chinese machine shop and a India machine shop that are priced low enough it would be worth his effort. I have found their cost is about 1/4 what I can get stuff done in the states. I cant even get cost estimates without dimensions though. This guy did so much work on this sad to see it die?

 

[troy scott]

could anyone get @shipmag some measurements maybe even a 3d print

 

[ahiskydiver8]

same if I could get some measurements or borrow one to get it made would be awesome

@shipmag

I have the OEM diesel tach and bezel I could loan you if that helps. I’m not installing until spring anyway.

 

[ahiskydiver8]

That would be amazing let me ask the Machinist

 

[ahiskydiver8]

So I have a machinist willing to make it.
For me he is doing possibly something a little different for my egt and boost gauge.
How many people are out there that want one of these bezels made out of aluminum?

 

[77HesterSue]

Is aluminum what the OEM is made from? If so, that's what I want. Thanks for taking this on!

 

[ahiskydiver8]

Can anyone comment on this? I've never seen one but I thought the original dash cover for the instrument panel was aluminum

The 83-84 center dash panel is steel, if this is what you're asking.

@77HesterSue The OEM one is injection molded plastic.
