Help me

Hello..

Does anybody have the messures of the "pad" on the instrument board (see picture)
I need the height and the thikness ???

Michael:

Measurements for that would be difficult to give, I would think, as it is tapered from one end to the other.

Are you trying to make one for your car? They are usually rubber covered in vinyl to match the interior. Might be easier to buy the rubber pad from one of the builders, and cover it to match.

Hey Robert

Yes, I am going to cut the eyebrow and the two pads at each side of the eyebrow in hard wood (teak). That is why I need the messures.

Michael

Michael:

These are dificult to measure, as Robert said, but here's what I got from my CMC: (all in Centimeters)

Gauge Cluster Eyebrow:

Overall length around arch: 48.1 cm (follows the shape of the dash bump)

Thickness front to back: 4.5 cm in center, tapering to 1.4 cm on each end

Vertical Thickness: 2cm in center, tapering to 1.3 cm on each end

Pad strips on each side of the eyebrow:

height: 5.3 cm
Thickness: 2.2 cm

Bear in mind that these dash pads are angled at the gauge ends to fit closely against the eyebrow, AND, since they are made of rubber, they curve to fit the shape of the dash on the sides near the doors. Past experience tells me that you might be able to steam the wood (if it's teak or mahogony) to curve the ends, but I'll leave that up to you.

Hope this helps, good luck, and send pictures of the finished product!
