Gauges and Plates Installed

I got a few more pictures of my oil pressure and Interceptor gauges and switch plate I installed not to long ago. Just wanted to post the new ones up (I can't seem to find my old thread).

Here's the dual gauge plate I made for my car:

A couple of the single gauge plate I made for my father's SS

And finally the switch plate. It's cut to where the lid closes perfectly flush with the console.

Here's a picture of the back of the console so show you how much room is is between the switch plate and the ashtray lid

Nice. I may have a buddy make something like that for me. Transmission temp and the Interceptor gauge side by side.

Thats the first thing I thought of when you said you couldn't find your old thread, but its probably b/c you were "thinking" about selling stuff on here without the "sponser fees" payed up...catch my drift?
Either way though- Guage set up looks very nice!!!

The gauge plates are cut with a water jet to a tolerance of .001". Over the course of 3 months, I measured, cut, and recut the three plates until they fit perfectly.

If the old thread is cleared and redone, can it be brought back to life?

Niffty,

There aren't any switchs installed on mine, so that may be your confusion. I'm still deciding what I want to put in there (N20, push button start, etc). But yes, it is a flate plate that fits perfectly in the ashtray.
