Re: Aluminum gauge surrounds (like Powermite's)
I can get you measurements off the set I bought from Bnoon. I suggest using some kind of adhesive to hold them in. They press-fit pretty well, but can pop out when you're really having fun with the car :-). I used a 2-part epoxy and it did a great job. Unfortunately, I had to rip them out due to my plastic trim piece being damaged and I haven't glued them into the new one yet.

Do you mind PMing me the dimensions of the rings?
I have a buddy who works in a machine shop and would love to make some of these for myself... And if i had the dimensions of them, i could make them out of all sorts of material.. maybe even Acrylic and put LED's behind them to add a little light to the dash.

Do some digging there are blue prints posted of a different style. flat faced ones not with a radi like the ones Ive been making.
Ive made some out of HDP before , etc. All look cool.
Your best way to make a custom set for yourself is just measure our inside Di. of your cluster. and make them from there. with what ever radius you want on the outside edge.
Id like to see ya do some with little led's would be something different thats for sure.
