PS I just finished this part. I'll need a scan of a metric one if I'm gonna do km/h too.

i can mail you one if you like.

Having 8 inks I'm going to try and add UV ink to the gloss optimizer. I don't know if I can print only where I want it or the whole thing.

I really just need a good scan, but if you'd rather send it to me I can scan it myself and I'll just recycle it and mail it back or to some one else. Just shoot me an email.

Um... I'm just making these up now. How am I going to have pictures of this installed for you?

i'm definetly interested in a set of gauge faces. i've been trying to get some in km/h almost since i got my car, which was a year ago. let me know when/if you get some km/h ones done and i'll gladly pay for them.

I expect that the metric gauges are the same for auto and mtx. I wouldn't mind the scan to compare though.

Looks nice and custom too. Your gauge (inside) is actually different. The US-spec with mini km/h goes up to 240. Tell me how far your needle will actually turn. I'll make "speed marks" a little past how far it goes.

This means that I can "easily" get the UV ink over the entire image. It might look a little funny, the whole gauge glowing, but I know some people wanted the indiglo. I still have to research printing the UV ink only where I want it. UV ink is expensive too. Bulk black ink for a printer is like maybe $21 for 8 oz, but the UV ink I'm looking at cost that much for 2 oz. I don't know how much area 2 oz will cover though.

I'll make sure my tester will take pics for me. Don't anyone ask me to be a tester, becasue you won't be. The tester is an anonoymous person that't I've already picked out.

**Mazdaman92** · 4-10-05, 22:25

How long until you will be busting these things out like a mad man? In other words when do you hope to have these for sale?

**Panther37** · 4-10-05, 22:46

I finished the Tach. I'm working on the MPH speedo right now and plan on finishing it tonight, or tomorrow night. The other two gauges should take less than a day. I would expect that they would be ready for download by friday some time. I might need some where to host it. After that I'll do the km/h Speedo for all the metric folk. THEN I'm gonna experiment with UV ink. I should be all done in less than a month from now. Please email me if you are interested in ANY type of UV ink printing. I'm not going to burn anyone here when I sell these. People do have to relize that on the days I work, I cannot get to the post office. I work four days on and four days off so it might take a week to send an order out. I also won't send out orders until paid in full (just like ebay.) My tester may also be supplying different types of LEDs and possibly home made UV needles. My tester will be testing and taking pictures of the UV stuff too. He's actually going to pick up a junkyard gauge cluster just for this project.

SmaartAasSaabr panther this guy had a 1st gen gauge cluster for sale for 30 bucks, I was looking at it for the indiglos but that again fell flat, so maybe you could get his if it is the best deal???? Also I would like to see the product in UV paint when you start to work on it.

I'm not buying any spare parts for a car I don't even have. The UV ink will either be clear or only be somewhat visible, depending upon what ink I get. I only plan on getting one color of of ink, though I might be able to use two. I'm gonig to have to print a few test patterns to see how I can get my printer to separate the inks to how I want. CorelDraw11 is pretty powerfull and I know can separate colors when it prints. I don't know how accurate printing on the same piece of paper multiple times will be. I do have a business paypal account for transactions, but that will be later on.
