Knowing my daughter, I wanted all the guages in front of her..not down by her knees and I wanted to convert he speedo over to kilometers..

I saw the really fancy - read expensive - clusters and decided to make my own.

One of the problems is and just like others things in this car is that the cluster is not a rectangle so I bought a cluster and made a sample of what I wanted. I had this made in aluminum so you can pc it or sand it to give it a 'brushed' look ...and you can put the guages or switches anywhere you want..

I would have preferred to make it a bit wider and 45 degree the lower lip regardless I am happy and I said I would pass it on to anyone who wants it.

I had to scan it in two pieces so you can print out the two and put them together.

Here are the two links.. do you want the exact dimensions ?

The picture is so crazy big I can't tell what it looks like
 
Yes, it is big but I posted it in the exact size. I will pass on the measurements tonight when I get home..was at a wedding most of the weekend.. it isn't a rectangle.

If I had a bigger scanner, I could do all at one...I will see if my wife has one bigger at work.

Ok..

As I mentioned..the cluster in not a rectangle..

It is 17.5 inches at it's widest point..

It is just a tad over 3.5 inches wide at one end and 4 at the other end..

So print out both pics as original and place them end to end at the above width and you have your cluster template.

I am using 1/8 aluminum so i have a choice of finishes..

Hope this helps..you can jazz up you dash with sanding/paint/pc..place the guages that you want in front of you and are able to restore your dash back to original in a flash..
