UdderlyOffroad Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Do I smell a HfH custom-fab-job in the offing? Give you a chance to practise your TIG skills? Failing that, Raptor Dash with custom holes? Raptor will CNC cut panels it for sensible money if you send them a CAD Drawing of what you want.

discomikey Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 nige, if you can tig up every single bracket ever needed to fit a silly (wrong fuel type) engine into your land rover, im sure you are well over qualified to make some sort of guage pod, a,la this style. http://www.raptor-engineering.co.uk/defender-s111-pod but to fit an 80mm guage and as short/long as you want.

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 I was thinking Kwik Fist..... Good for you, But, its a family forum, do you have any ideas around me 80mm Rev Counter mounting ? Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hmmm A DIY one may have to be on the cards ! Not a lover of the raptor stuff, I know many swoon over it, but it looks a tad chavvy to me ? Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 doesent necisarrily have to be raptor esque, vinyl cover it to match the dash maybe, doesent have to be that shape. ive seen how nice your brackets look, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Idris Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Spray foam Make one, just because we want to read about it. Purely selfish I know, but I'm nearly always bored, but too lazy to go do something like that. Luckily the electrics industry gave us the plastic enclosure. I am a big fan of the wotwots method of mounting gauges of varying diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdderlyOffroad Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hmmm A DIY one may have to be on the cards ! Not a lover of the raptor stuff, I know many swoon over it, but it looks a tad chavvy to me ? Nige Agreed - it's a bit bling, but will probably fit one to my build in black - not quite so chavvy hopefully! Also as said, Phil at Raptor will make custom front panels with his CNC machine for IIRC sensible money. Back on topic, what kind of 'look' are you going for? Obviously there's the usual carbon-fibre plastic merchants out there...but I guess you want a 'stock' look, as our colonial cousins would refer to it?

muddy Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Won't it fit in place of the Speedo and use a digi Speedo or something on ms instead to tell you that 3 points Anne a £60 fine will be shortly on its way along with à six pack of boxers?

Jon White Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I think you should just get JU to mount it for you.......last time i was in his truck the gauges were just hanging from the wires that connected them! Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
