Nice, but I want to keep the factory beveled edges around all the gauges and the edge of the panel.
Do you have the file for this? might be a good start.
Looks VERY similar to something I was gonna do. I was running Holley HP EFI, though I never actually made it. Decided to keep the cluster stock. How are you going to make the bevels? If you're going to make it on a 3 axis router, you should easily be able to program a 2D drawing to run one circle with a 45 angle, and a second circle to make the actual full cut out. ...I was actually going to run the speedhut bezel on the outside since ALL the other gauges were in the LCD screen, though the bezels would help it not look so empty, but I totally get running the 45 cut to make it look stock.
OK, I gotcha. I have a 3 axis router at work that I was gonna make mine on, which is why 2D works. No need for 3D. Unfortunately through experience with small, precise pieces like that, there's no such thing as gettin' done perfect the first time. It takes a lot of trial and error. It would be expensive, and frankly I'm just not set up to do work like that.
Printing it in 3d would only be about $100. It's the design aspect of it that cost $$$. That's why I posted here hoping someone one already had it done.
I haven't given up on it yet...
Hard to tell in both pics, but eventually i beveled the edges and counter sunk the torx holes.I thought id be able to use the stock piece, but the two big speedhut gauges are smaller than the stock and the three small ones are bigger than the three stock ones.
I was looking at getting the Speedhut gauges also but they don't make a Tach/Oil pressure gauge dual gauge so I decided to stick with the factory gauges, I want to thank 7thdarkangel for the work he did on my new bezel.
This is the final result
That looks awesome!!! Great work! ....I purchased a full kit of Speedhut gauges during their black friday sale, so I'll letcha know what I come up with. Might be awhile, but....I'll be sure to post.
Abubaca, Do you have pics of the final design you picked up? I've had mine for a few years now.
I ended up having them apply the "design" they used for their Humvee gauges, but to the specific gauge kit I purchased. -and with blue illumination instead of green. I went back and forth with so many different designs, but as a graphic artist, you have to be careful not to "overcook" your project. I wanted to retain some feel of the stock gauges, but also do something not overly common. Something that looked like maybe it could've been original. In the end I felt the HumVee gauges were the right blend of what i was looking for. ....the picture below is the design I went with, but not the exact gauges.
Thank you! I just checked your page, do you actually make these? And if so, how does it work? I download the file, update it with what I need and then what? I didn't see an option for an upload.

Yes I do. You would just email it either before of after you order the plate. I don't have any file uploading on the site yet.

is it possible for me to purchase this or one like it?
