I don't have much experience making my own anything, but I figured I'd try my hand at making a gauge cluster for my new gauges.

I bought a set of hole saws at Harbor Freight, and a pack of rotor zip bits.

Then I bought a sheet of acrylic at Home Depot.

Took me four tries to get it right, I tried making the first and second one out of wood, but those split on me when I tried drilling the holes for the gauges.

The first acrylic one split on me, because I drilled the holes too close to each other.

It's a bit rough around the edges, but when I get the gauges put in, it will look a bit cleaner.

Let me know what you guys think, and how I can improve my next one.

 

For $55 shipped you could of had one that's water jetted out, powdercoated, and comes with turn signal and high beam indicators...

 

I know I know. But I wanted to make my own, just because :P
