Would you guys be interested in a cheaper alternative to the Modshack boost gauge ring, 30 bucks for that piece just seems stiff, I mad the cad drawing last night and am heading over today to the machine shop to get prices on maybe 10 of them. If they are popular I can always get more made, I jsut want to make sure there is some interest.

 

I got a price from the plastics shop near me. I will be able to sell them for 20 dollars shipped, and will be made out of black abs, to match the trims nicely. after I get the test fittings in 2 weeks ill let you guys know, and post pictures.

 

Here is the cad drawing, it is similar to the modshack out except made from abs like I had said, which i feel would give a little more oem look. I will have the prototype in about a week and a half, ill keep you guys updated. Also am in the process of making a needle for inside of the gauge to match the oem. Have another couple hours of cad to get it how i want it. If you guys want pictures of progress let me know. The reason for the needle is so we dont need to buy a whole gauge for that one needle we need. I will get the whole needle CNCed out of clear plastic, and then hand paint it. The silver part with non transparent paint and the red needle part with transparent.

 

Thanks for putting in the work on this.
I'll know when I get my car back from RAI if I need one.

Hopefully I won't

 

Got the prototype in and it works perfect, i will be selling them for $15 dollars, i need to get 10 people interested before i can go back to the cnc shop i had them made to get some more made. Lets get a list going and then after we get some interest ill place the order.

 

got a pic of the prototype?

 

ill post some pictures tomorrow, i have been swamped with Differential Equations and Discrete Math the whole night.

 

haha discrete math.. i remember taking that class. (sry.. it brings back some crazy memories)

 

Thats an awful class I dread it every MWF.

 

I am interested, YGPM
