hello! i couldnt find anything on the search function about this so i thought i would ask.

does anyone know of a company that will make me a set of custom gauge faces for my mini?

i know of galileo gauges, are there anymore?

i have quite a specific set of requirements, in that i am using several 52mm gauges, an old style centre binnacle speedo/fuel gauge and a new style rev counter, rather than a standard set of instruments.

thanks in advance

Roberts aka Optimize Automotive also does them

cheers for this, i like the sound of optimise automotive since they cut out the faces for you, whereas galileo do not, and im not sure im great at cutting perfect circles...

thanks

u dont need to cut a perfect circle as they have a black ring hiding the edje me thinks .

i dont think the bezels will quite hide the edge on the 52mm gauges, only on the rev counter and the speedo

it's not the edges though that are the problem when cutting, as you said yes they are covered, its cutting out the holes for your miles, fuel gauge and water temp that is the tricky bit.

Part of this products development involved giving friends and family sets to cut out. I did experiments with giving them scalpels and craft knifes, as well as not giving them any tools and just said "cut those out as well as possible", and they used scissors.

A majority of the returned sets were awful, and nobody did a, what I would call, a 'good job'.

So the decision was made to sell them cut-out.

Roberts, you got a website to look at?... I'll be needing a set of dial faces to convert the current Jap spec KMPH to MPH sharpish I think...

[coopdog]

just do it yourself, just use a stanley blade to cut out the bits, not hard or tricky

[roofless]

If anyone is still struggling with these, I can do self adhesives on my print and cut machine.... would work well
