Registered: May 2002	Re: White Gauges Tue, 19 November 2002 07:48 A mate of mine did mine with Adobe Illustrator. I used a protractor to work out the angles of the increments, then illustrator has an angle tool which allows you to make a perfect reproduction of the original gauges, in whatever colour you want. The other thing you can do, which is what I have done, is rotate the increments so that the needles point straight down, for the motorbike tacho look. If the angles between the increments are the same as the original, there's no reason your gauge won't be as accurate as before. You just need to rotate the needle around uuntill it lines up with the 0 (duh! ), like this.... (BTW, these are only a rough copy, I do intent to make a few changes to the finals. If anyone wants a copy of these gauges let me know, you'd have all the angled increments set out then you could simply change fonts & change the little increment marks to fully customise your gauges. Celica badges on the gauge, a pic of your car, a neked chick , whatever took your fancy.) As some of you may notice, the speedo now goes up to 220, and the tacho goes up to 9 grand........ As far as tachos go, no one makes a 4" white fauce tacho with the needle starting from straight down that didn't cost a shitload that could be used to replace the standard one, EXCEPT, specos new range of tachos, but alas, these only rev to 8 grand, which my stock one does anyway. Since my motors standard redline is around the 7 1/2 grand, I decided it wouldn't do. Instead, I modify my own one for nothing & have the same thing. Then the redline looked wierd being only for 500 revs, and the scale didn't take up much of the face with it's new increment positions, so I I added the extra 1000 revs. THE TACHO IS INCAPABLE OF REVVING PAST 8 GRAND, but I don't plan on revving it past that anyway. The speedo I just figured it'd be good to add in a few more increments, and it can go well past the original top speed. [Updated on: Tue, 19 November 2002 07:57] [Report message to a moderator]
