HAHAHAHAHA that is a very good point


G, why the heck have i not asked you to help me make some of these for "Project X." Of corse, I think mine may need to be a little more tame

I'll give you a call sometime this week or next weekend. We have a Stroker 18 to hunt down for you.

 

[Explorer94GV]

hey guys. let me tell you, this is an awesome idea. i got a buddy to print out some of harry5150's gauges (with a few personal touches, of course) and cut em all out. so me and another buddy tore my whole dash apart only to find that they would not fit on over the needles. any ideas? i dont really know how to get the needles off, they were pretty stuck on. i dont want to mess it up, cause this stuff is pretty important. thanks!!\

 

[Explorer94GV]

you need to cut the needle holes on the gauges a little bigger so you can slip them over the needles. Do it on a few crappy copys first so you can get the feel of it than do it on your real copy.

ok, ive had mine in for a week or so, and let me just say, it looks soo sweet. i cant believe that is just a piece of paper while companies are selling kits for $60+ when you could just make your own relatively easily. on a bad note, my tach and speedo are sticking like crazy, so im going to have to tear the whole dash back down to nothingness and do some adjusting oh well, still worth it.

How do you make the guages so the warning lights don't show the whole time? It looks like they are all lit up when I print them.

 

[jz098]

does anyone have any pics of gauges they made for a 1st gen explorer?

 

[Explorer94GV]

yea there in my sig on pages 3 and 4 ive got tons of them i can do for ya.

 

[Fish Man]

yay! got my new ones installed on friday. works better if you do it at dusk, so you can line them up right. also laminated these. my needles are now blue with orange tips, very unique. its pretty tight

a dilemma......

i want white face gauges, with black numbers and whatnot........but how can i get them to light up red at night?

 

[Explorer94GV]

I dont want to say its not possible but i think your asking for way to much there. Try and replace the bulbs with red ones?

 

[MO_GUY]

Ok.....I had this Rick guy send me a scanned copy of the 98+ gauges, they look really nice but when I went to the last step where you put them on a stanard sized sheet of paper and then print it......the things were huge....I e-mailed him but he doesn't check his e-mail often, hopefully he'll know what is wrong with it

 

[Explorer94GV]

I dont know what program your using but yes i had the same problem you just have to make the scale of gauge smaller than they will print smaller
