Supra-love Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 They look stunning mate and looks like put loads of work and effort into them Cheers mate. They are made from thin plastic with scratch resistant top layer trying to mimic oem grade, will need calibration though so I have to send off somewhere for that, probably to cluster repairs uk.

mr.gill Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I'm in. Would love to see the development and the end product! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Reviews Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 They look awesome! Can you make one for the tiptronic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew K Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Very nice I like those I am always worried about pulling gauges apart to fit different faces but I could see me wanting to fit these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-love Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 Hence why I wouldn’t do conversions myself. I will finish off my faces then send the cluster and faces to be fitted and calibrated properly. Loads of people offer complete conversions but I’m not insured if the dash sets on fire or what not.

bayside_supra Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 They look great. Similar look to mine from metal monkey before they went. I did manage to pop the needles back on myself. Was a pita though. If you know of an inexpensive way to sort out the bright spots that would be helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I remember years ago in the Max Power Days people used to use different gradients of window tint film to hide bright spots. Bit of a bodge, but if it works it works I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Liking the look of those buddy [emoji108] Definitely interested to see them fitted once lit up and calibrated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 If you powered the LEDs through an Arduino micro controller, using pulse width modulation, you could reduce their brightness per LED. You cant use resistors to reduce LED brightness. Only an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyd16 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Led strips can be used. I have a set of stu Hagen gauges and this how he does his. No bulbs or leds in the bulb holders and flexible led strips attached to the gauge holder case soldered to where the bulb holder clips in. He then uses other methods to illuminate the needles.

Mr2kyle Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Got some gauges made up. Let me know what you think of them. Thanks Those look brilliant! Smart how you have the OEM font ect as that’s what put me off the metal monkey dials. Would be really interested in getting a set of these if and when the time comes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be really interested in getting a set of these if and when the time comes Exactly didn’t like any others out there, textured and not oem looking so made sure mine were as best as can be really.

Supra-love Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Who’s made these up for you? /QUOTE] Me and a mate at work, digitally printed, scale fixed, and in oem matte look. I could of added a textured layer on top but then you loose the oem finish. These will have no tint on the back so whatever colour bulb is in the cluster will light it that colour Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited May 3, 2020 by Supra-love (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukhy Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 These look great. I would interested in a set if you decide to sell a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 They look good. They wouldn't work on a standard cluster though. The RPM is TRD's range, your standard RPM gauge wont work with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
