you can go onto summit for prices, but they're kinda pricey. my only real question is did you have to cut out the area behind the cluster? The space where the factory harness plugs into? or did your design allow for enough room to just bolt right in w/o cutting. I would much rather go this route than paying $300 for a 200 mph overlay..

I said console in my other post I meant COLUMN. I would like to know the column diameter. I will edit that post too then check this thread again tomorrow morning when I get to work. Good luck finding someone to design a gauge pod like this and get it cut out for under $200.00. There is a lot more involved that most people realize. I appreciate those who are interrested in this so far. I will check back tomorrow.
Here are the part numbers.
Tach-- ATM-4498
Speedo-- ATM-4489
oil--ATM-4353
fuel--ATM-????
water temp--ATM-4369

i know there is a lot involved so i know $200 seems a little steep but in reality its not too bad, but i would really like to know about the fit into the stock dash area... i.e. no cutting in case i have to go back to stock. greatly appreciate it!

Good morning everyone. We are very busy working 55-60 hours a week and I try to check this as much as possible at work.
I will answer all the questions that were answered from yesterday.

Nope I didnt cut that section at all. The electric plug is still there and the entire dash is un-touched. You could plug your original gauge cluster back in with no problem at all. I can even pull mine out and take a pic if necessary. You can get an autometer 200mph gauge from local dealer and they look sick.
The ONLY cut you will have to make is the plastic loop that goes over the the steering wheel. You can leave it if you want but i cut it out of mine to make it look better.

The only cut you need to make is the plastic loop that goes over the column. You dont have to cut it but it looks better with it off. Only takes about 1 minute to cut it off.

Now that everyone knows the information about the gauges. Let me know for sure if you want them because I will probably take the design and get them CNC machined next week so I can start building them. Keep in mind you can put any style gauges you want in there to match your personality. And the gauge pod is adjustable too.

YOU ONLY CUT THIS PIECE IF YOU WANT TO

Wish I had $700 so I could do that. I've been thinking of a way to do it for a while now but I can't afford the gauges. Autometer C2s are kinda pricey.

Can U recess the gauges? I just wonder if there is enough room, I made a custom set-up for my 70 GTX(cardomain link page 4 ) that was recessed with gauges.

Kirby

Are you talking about recessing them to the same place as the stock gauges? If you do this, you'll have to take out the grid behind the gauge face (MUCH more work).

I could recess the gauges but that would definetly be more money. Also if I recess them they could run into the back where the stock plug is. I can do ANYTHING but it would be more money. These only stick out about 1/8 inch more than the stock gauges. Look at the very first pics in the first post.

If you look at this pic its only about 1/4 inch further out than stock gauges.

Kirby

Didn't see this if it was posted before but what size are the smaller gauges in the dash?

Wonder if it could work with a smaller set of gauges then? Can't remember that back space size, I know it isnt to deep in the back. Cause I was thinking of doing a set-up like that but then using plexi glass infront to look factory.

You could also use CF to make the Bezel or Plexi with CF to reinforce it
