Ah, some news.
have just spoken to Rick at Cubic performance, he says that the bezels screw on and off so are easy to remove and change. Looks like I may have found my answer. They also come without the Kirkham logo!

Still planning!
Well you know I said that I could change my mind on things rather a lot, well I think I might have done it again!
Back to dash layout and gauges.
After Simon very kindly sent me a Turin shroud dash, I was able to transfer the layout onto a bit of MDF.
I then set about making some rather fetching gauges, indicator lights and switches using Autometer pictures and powerpoint drawing tool! End result a life size dash and hardware that I can fiddle around with as I like.
Now Autometer sell two sizes of speedo and tach, one at 127mm and one at 85ish. Anyway one is smaller than normal UK sourced gauges and one bigger.
Heres the small ones.
And the large ones.
Upshot, don't think I like either! And I need to paint the floor again!!
So the hunt continues for full sweep electrical gauges that I like with decent through the dial lighting.
Enter Kirkham http://www.thomaskirkham.com/gauges.html
Now these I like, classic design, full electric transducers and good through dial lighting, oh and °C temperature measurements. Just need to find out if its possible to change the bezel to something a little more IVA (note the change there from SVA) friendly.
