Chrome trim around the guages on a G50

Post by **AZ94Q** » Tue May 18, 2004 5:34 pm

One of fabricator/hacker/DIY guys should make a chrome circle trim kit for the 4 guages on the G50.

I was noticing when the lights are on, it already has a ring cut out, seperate from the guages. All you would have to do is take the measurement and fab something to fit it.. since it already has a ring cut out, it shouldn't be to difficult

I'd definetely pay for one!!

Is this what your talking about?

Post by **AZ94Q** » Tue May 18, 2004 5:34 pm

Negative. Unfortunately that would blocks out the pimp lighting at night..

Here is waht im talking about

Go drive your car night. If you look at the guages you will notice a black ring circle around the guages. What I am talking about is a chrome ring to fit over this. It would only fit over this, not the entire gauge pod... Let me find another car that has this. You'll get it then

hard for me to describe

Take a look at the guages at night, when the lights are on. You will see it has a ring around it, on the outside of the guages. We could just stick the chrome ring right in it.. i think it would work perfect.

Yep - cool.

Post by **AZ94Q** » Tue May 18, 2004 5:34 pm

Anyone know how to go about getting this made? I wouldn't mind pitching in 100 or so to help out with the fab costs..

Post by **1qckser** » Tue May 18, 2004 5:34 pm

Looks good

If you were to do a drawing up with the measurements on it, I could look into having some made up. Don't have a Q here to measure on though...

Jesda or someone,

I am 100% crappy at drawings and measurements and stuff. Can someone give corey what he needs on this? I will be happy to assist in the fab costs, or helpout any other way..

Let's not let this one die!

We'd need a spare instrument panel to take a micrometer to....

Anyone have a set of gauges from a parts car?

Post by **AZ94Q** » Tue May 18, 2004 5:34 pm

If anyone has a spare set, please speak up.

If not, I will get one off of ebay. They are cheap.

If i get one, I want to make sure I'm not wasting my money. That's all I ask.

Elwesso,

I am going to go ahead and get this. If you want to split the cost, that would be cool.

The cluster is $1.00.. I am not sure where to ship it to..

Anyway it shouldn't be more then $5.00 to $10.00 each.

Post by **AZ94Q** » Tue May 18, 2004 5:34 pm

Ok, I won the cluster.

Who do I ship it to?

Post by **elwesso** » Tue May 18, 2004 5:34 pm

I cant do measurements.....

Post by **AZ94Q** » Tue May 18, 2004 5:34 pm

Ok.. so I'm guessing either Corey or Greg at this point

You want to split the cost with me? $10.00 each?

Post by **AZhitman** » Tue May 18, 2004 5:34 pm

I'd volunteer, but I am SLAMMED. Don't want to disappoint anyone.

Too many damn projects that I can't keep up with... Header and catbacks are a reality (yeah, I said it) and will be available VERY soon, start counting your money guys!!!!

Post by **AZ94Q** » Tue May 18, 2004 5:34 pm

Corey.. Think you could handle this project? If so, I'll have them shipped to you..

Post by **AZ94Q** » Tue May 18, 2004 5:34 pm

Hmm. headers and exhaust.. yum

Looks like it's time to put my soon to be acquired stillen exhaust on ebay..

Post by **MiniMan** » Tue May 18, 2004 5:34 pm

Unfortunately I have nothing accurate to measure with. I can only do the auto-CAD for it, then send that to the machine shop to have made. Sorry guys. Maybe Wes would be able to take the measurements, then forward them to me?

Corey

Post by **AZ94Q** » Tue May 18, 2004 5:34 pm

Somebody.... Come on I bought a gauge cluster for you guys..

All we need is someone to do a measurement, then give it to corey..

Post by **MiniMan** » Tue May 18, 2004 5:34 pm

OH, Wes said he can't... haha... ha... ha... shat...

I wish I could help more...

Corey

Post by **AZ94Q** » Tue May 18, 2004 5:34 pm

Greg,

You sure you couldn't squeeze out enough time to measure these guages? all we need our measurements, and corey can help with the rest...

Post by **AZhitman** » Tue May 18, 2004 5:34 pm

I'll measure if Corey will CAD. I just didn't want to get jammed up with another project.

Email for my addy.

Post by **elwesso** » Tue May 18, 2004 5:34 pm

the only thing I could do is trace it with a pencil and a piece of paper.....

If oyu tell me what to do I could try.....

Post by **AZ94Q** » Tue May 18, 2004 5:34 pm

Greg,

Thanks.

Corey, can you confirm you can CAD and send them to be made?

Post by **MiniMan** » Tue May 18, 2004 5:34 pm

Yes, as long as these pieces stay in the form of something that can be made out of sheet metal I will be able to CAD them no probs. Once things start getting fancy I'll have to see what I can do...
