any chance you could make one to fit these gauges

Dakota Digital Rectangles?

Pepperridge...How much U paid for your gauges & sending units? Pic looks kool...did you use the factory blank to mount your toys?

Dakota Digital doesnt make these anymore (rectangular) It's been sucha long time since I bought them... I'd be lying if I guessed.

Yes that is the factory blank.

A member (Tinbender) made a few kits during the ********** era for members who liked his setup (same) He made a mount for the sending units under the dash and an extended wiring kit to reach up to the gauges. He did a great job and it has served me well over the years, but I kinda like the billet alum look and if they could get angled more to the driver in the process that would be great.

You can get the round digital and the sending units still at Dakota Digital (http://dakotadigital.com/)

Hope this helps...

Trippin did a great job on the cyclops, the fit and finish is second to none and it is angled so that the driver only needs to give a quick glance to read the gauges. I may pull it back out and paint everything to match the dash for the ultimate factory look, but I hate to mess with the finish on the cyclops, pics don't do it any justice.

Can you send me the gauges for measurements and test fit?

Can you send me the gauges for measurements and test fit?Yes I could.

any idea of the price? in black anodized...

and how long would you need them?

and would you be able to angle them slightly towards the driver? (probably depends on their size)

Also if I could get the specs from DakotaDigital could it be done (possibly) without sending them?

I'd hate to do without the EGT or

Could I just send the boost only? (My guess is, it would be enogh to give you the mock up you need...JMO)

On edit: the more I look at my picture the more I don't like the bezels (too bulky...) I wonder if they could be removed or machined down thinner(I think they would make your exceptioinal work look bad (again JMO)?

I was thinking I might be able to start with an Attitude mount and alter the inside shape to fit the bezels. So yes it would be angled. Or depending on what they consist of maybe we could ditch the bezels and swap in the guts.

I could get by with just one gauge for test fitting. If you could get specs from Dakota then that would shorten the time you would be without a gauge.

$125.00
