Hey Bumpside, thanks for the photo; it worked great that time!

Is this something you made or a product for sale somewhere? It looks pretty neat. I like the speedometer style!

That's cool Bump. That was another idea I was playing around with, but wasn't sure how the two gauge styles would go together. The carbon fiber backer mades it look more race truck, interesting.

I see you do CNC work. The Gauge holders for this set up would be easy for you to turn out. let me know if you do. I will buy the first set.

Thanks for the complement :D :fr:

See, that's what you get for being west coast Ryan...

Bump, the mills a lot of fun. Spent the day trying to get the tramp oil out of the coolant and then cleaning out the coolant sump. Stuff'll make you sick and I had a couple islands floating around in it.

The only bad for my mill is it only has a 18" X travel and the clusters are around 20 or 22 if I remember correctly so it's a two fixture process to make them.

Robroy, if you want I could do the cad stuff for you to make a panel or make one old school for you (by hand) still a lot of work to install it and get the wiring working.

Well I'm thinking of going with the Haneline panel, since I like its looks and it'll get the job done with a minimal time investment. It comes mounted in its own ABS plastic bezel, unlike the others that want me to chop up a factory bezel to get them installed.

I mailed the folks at Haneline back in December and got some great replies. One of the replies included a better photo of their panel--it's still not a superb photo, but it's a little better than that miniature photo on the web site. Here it is:

That looks really good. I like that it comes with the ABS plastic bezel shell too. :D

Hey BiggDogg,

Yeah the bezel it comes with could really save some time. Although I have yet to see a detailed report of how one of the other cluster inserts was installed in a factory bezel, I can imagine that it would take many hours of tinkering to get it right. This way it's just a matter of installing the gauges. Maybe painting the bezel first if I don't like the black.
