wll done jono looks the nuts...52mm only?

Jono FD3 · January 16, 2008, 11:46:00 PM

Na mate... it was a 52, but I had a 60mm Apexi gauge to get in there so I had to chop it about!!

how does it look against the rpm gauge, does it block much ?

looks good btw bud

Joeh · January 17, 2008, 01:56:50 AM

Was thinking the same as John, but to realise the centre of the RPM gauge is irrelevant though...

I guess it still allow free reading of RPM or is it a mission? My steering wheel blocks a lot of stuff on the dash but I guess my head is quite near the ceiling (like most of us

)

Looks awesome jono but i think u could have swapped the liberty of modifying a re-am steering column for a stock one, would have come up very similar!

looks good, you obviously have far too much time on your hands and i think you should come and help me do the fibre glass work on my kit car! Its still rotary!

Jono FD3 · January 17, 2008, 01:28:27 PM

Not a great deal of visability has been lost to be honest with you!! When the car is at idle, you can see the tip of the needle (about 8mm) then from 1500rpm to about 8000rpm is clear to read....... & I\'m a short arse, just about see over the wheel

!

I\'ll get a pic up after lunch now to show you!!

In the pic the steering wheel has thrown a shadow on to the taco when the flash whent off!! the top of the taco is clearly visable with out flash!!

what you think??

its great that mate the only problem i can really spot is the silicon reaction witht he paint on the front! just above the hub! part from that its spot on i would not want to give that ago lol!

Jono FD3 · January 17, 2008, 06:45:58 PM

ENVYD · January 17, 2008, 06:59:46 PM
