body and interior Gauge Cluster Cad Drawing

[2590402]

Hi,

I'm looking for a cad drawing of a 2002 gauge cluster. I would like to get some aluminum blanks water jetted for custom gauge clusters. Any help would be great.

Hey Andrew,

 

I've been interested in custom gauges as well. I've done a bit of work on the electronics side of things but I haven't made a ton of progress putting one together.

 

Anyway, if you get a custom enclosure together I'd be interested in hearing about how you did it and possibly buying one off of you or collaborating on a design or so. Keep me updated on your progress.

 

Cheers,

Jonathan

02 gauge clusters were designed with SAD (sliderule aided design) so I would be surprised if you could find factory CAD drawings.

I know of a t least one shop, that when building race/track cars( 02's), they do it old school,  and fab up a gauge cluster, but they use multiple smaller gauges such as 2 1/16" vdo etc etc..much like the old alpina cars...

 

 

the shop is in the PNW.....called Racecraft.........and there is an 02 race build on this forum w/ that style gauge set up......

 

here is an old school set up.....

Has anyone else wished the tach was in the center?
