Been dicking around with speedo brackets mods forever. 3 or 4 versions rejected so far.

Very perceptive, as usual. Yeah, stainless. .050", painted black. I only rendered it in galvalized because it contrasted nicely. All my built-in stainless finishes were too reflective to get a good sense of the shapes.

Looking good with the conceptual stuff.

What is the centre diameter of the bars, could you flush mount the guage to the bar (I realise this means cutting into and reinforcing new bars)

The bars are 1.5" OD. Not sure of the wall, but probably around .120".
It would be possible, but I would have to ditch the indicators and it would use up most of the internal space I need for wiring. I'm bored so maybe I'll model it just for ***** and giggles.

Hi Chris,
That is the cleanest thing I have ever seen on this or any other planet. That image will haunt you any time you start to mount the "Gadget" in any way other than that.

I agree that looks like a fair amount of work, and probably beyond the scope of anything I'd want to hack together. But damn, that looks clean.
