    Sorry guys. A couple of weeks away and then a fair bit of catching up to do. Dimensions on the original binnacle are 150mm high by 388mm wide.

    The talk of the 3D printer has made me consider getting a plate of plastic, having it cut to shape and then the relevant holes cut in. It’d be a pretty simple shape really. Should be able to use the original mounting points too.

    Too easy lads.

    I can certainly provide measurements to see if the printer can handle it.

    Cheers.

    Yeah right. I’m hoping to not cut up my original cluster so might have to pick up a second one.

     

    I was was hoping to just knock up a panel and use it to fill the void- hence the worry about the materiel strength.

    Yeah nice- that is similar to what I’m after. I have two gauges under the radio and will be putting another two or three on the bonnet. I want to keep it as speedo, tacho, shift light- possibly a gear indicator buying not entirely sure yet. Do you know what that one is made of?

    And sorry for misreading the situation! My bad.

    I pulled my regulators and rebuilt them. Pretty simple pieces that I was terrified off until I gave it a go. Over time they gunk up.

     

    Also, don’t be surprised if the wiring in the door- especially the drivers- has given up after almost thirty years of flexing as the door opens and shuts.

    Yeah- I can’t.

    Will use the factory VN mounts. Sorry if it’s a stupid question, I’m just trying to avoid any mistakes people have made in the past. I know some guys glass them in but I don’t want to go that far.

    If you blokes want to take the piss that’s fine. Unless I’ve got the wrong end of the stick?
