Dash Pod gauge

[CaptainJp]

I've been thinking about this for some time of making a dash pod gauge.

So something like TUX has done but in a 3 gauge pod.


Something like this




It would be nice if it could mimic the curve and shape of the oil temp/fuel gauge in the main cluster, maybe off set it towards the driver slightly.
What do we think?

As it's a small part I was thinking I could do the project when I'm away in Tanzaina.
I've never done anything like this before, so any advice?

How do I get the curve of the dash right and what should I make a mold out of, I'm not sure I'm arty enough to do it in clay.

I've just been watching some youtube videos about mold making.
Cock it's a lot of work.
How many hundreds of hours did you put into making you car Andy, wow.

So it might to easyer to start with an off the shelf part mod it to fit and take some molds from that.

How about this?

Gauges over load

I've ordered a standard gauge from the internet, hopefuly I'll be able to get a mold of the dash and bring it back out to Tanzania to mock something up in November.
