Well, ive finally decided to make a move on making some dash rings up for 2nd gens.


basically the aim of this thread is to see how many 2nd gen owners would be interessted in buying a set of these for their ride.

the rings will be made from machine grade aluminium, hand turned on a lathe to the correct diameters.

once i have made the prototype for my car i will post pictures of them so everyone can get a glimpse of what they look like.

im unsure of what the actual cost of each set will be as yet but im thinking no more than $50. the aluminium needed to make these is about 120mm diameter and costs quite a bit. unfortunately ive had trouble finding a place that sells this diamter in short lengths so it may mean ill need to buy a peice 300mm long.

if anyone is interessted in this little mod, please let me know asap.

also: i may be able to make 3rd gen rings aswell, its just that i dont have the cluster dimensions at hand Atm.

cheers, anthony

way to steal Dave (synergys) new proposition to the club :P, hes been working on these allbeit for 3rd gens, for a while lol:P

sounds really good mate.

well its not really "stealing" considering im not doing it for 3rd gens atm.
if he has any for a 2nd gen ill be the first to buy some coz itll save me the headache!

but if im "allowed" to make some for other members then i will be honoured to lol

nah i was just joking, i didnt mean it that way.

sounds like a good idea to do them for second gens too, good to have some many people doing somthing to help others.

yeah i dont know about you, but being a owner of two 2nd gens, i get frustrated when i cant find ANY aftermarket mods on the shelf! :headbange

anyone interessted in these rings or not?

Yeah I'm interested. :thumbsup: :rofleek:

Interested.....

Sounds like a Funky mod Man...

nope im not doing 2nd gens so you may have the glory squire!

COUNT ME IN :D theyd look very swish-bang with my dark green paint, and creme interior :D

i would if they look classy

can some one post a pic from any other cars that might have these dash rings so that I can understand what we are talking about.???? thanks,

is it something like this, where white arrow is pointing???

they will be brushed finished....but if you want a chrome look, id have to polish each won individually while its on the lathe. it would be too hard to polish by hand once they have been docked off, unless the buyer want to do it them selves.

so once they're done we just glue them on with liquid nails or something?

edit: yeah, also, are the dial faces like perfectly flat? as in if you look at it from the side does it curve? Coz if it does, they're gonna be a biitch to make

its perfectly flat! ive just bought the aluminium today so hopefully the first set will be done by tommorrow night.

the plan is to make a "rebate" for the rings to sit into the holes and then over the facia, rather than just sit on the facia. this means the rings will sit perfectly in your dash!

im thinking a few dabs of araldyte will hold them in nicely :)

you really want to lathe curve the edges of the top of the rings otherwise it will look cheap

thats why i am doing mine in plastic as when i make the moulds i can have a nice curve, also im going to make some chunkier rings like the SS commodore dash

yeah i know mate. i was thinking of machining a bevelled edge on them.

the trouble is, is that on the 2nd gen facia's there isnt alot of space between temp/fuel-speedo-tacho. about 5mm in between these. :(
which makes it hard to get a chunky size round it.

doin the speedo ring ATM!

ah in that case plastic woulda been awesome for that as you could make a 1 peice !!!

yeah, but its plastic......not aluminium :)

I may be in, depending on cost and finish.

if they look good and are the right price im definately keen

im doing the speedo atm. i think they will be a polished finish.

what finish are you all after?

im doing the speedo atm. i think they will be a polished finish.

what finish are you all after?

yeah it'd have to be polished chrome mate... good luck

I wouldnt mind either finish, im leaning towards the brushed aluminim look atm, but i'll wait to see both before i make my choice:D

ok, so here is the speedo!

its got a polished finished. let me know what you all think!

:shock: That looks awesome!

when you have a full 2nd set (take your time) pop round me house again:D

Nice Work!

I agree with TUFFTR - great work mate !!!

I don't mind polished/chrome but would also like to see what they'd look like brushed.

On a slight side note, are your dial pointers white or did you paint them ?

yep they are white alright! got them from an Xi.

well the rings are all machined, just have to polish them up.

so far, just in machining it took 5hrs to do all 3.
next i will have to use a small buffing wheel and cutters to buff out any machine marks.
after that will be the final polish which will consist of using brasso and polishing them by hand, then a buffing wheel and polishing compound to finish them off.

to get a brushed look, i will miss the last stage of polishing.

that looks great i like the chrome look any ideas on price for a set as yet?

unfortunatly, they will cost more than $50 like i said before. there is just too much work involved for that price. a lot more than anticipated.

i will make a set without the rebate on them. so just aluminium rings i guess. they will be a bit harder to install but should work out about $50 a set.

pics should be up 2moro of the finished product.

whats the difference between rebate and no rebate

whats the difference between rebate and no rebate

the rebated ones will sit 'into' the dials (so butt up to the numbers) and over lap onto the facia.

the ones without the rebate will just sit on the facia. so careful installation would be needed to make sure that they are centred accurately

so the not rebated ones are just a few mm bigger in diamater? they sound like heaps of work and they look like theyre shaping up to be real nice but i think that if you make them over $50 youre gunna have trouble gettin buyers. i understand theres the abour involved but surely the materials wont cost that much? i think youd sell heaps and make a nice profit if they were a really good price,

just my opinion completely your choice, congrats anyway man

just my opinion completely your choice, congrats anyway man

to give you an idea, a piece of 2011 aluminium 120mm dia, 6'' long cost me $70

a piece about 18mm thick is needed to make each ring (with rebate)
its the labour involved which makes it pricey.

im sure the ones without the rebate will be $50 a set. as they can be made in bulk with few adjustments needed to be made.

yum yum will take a set of the rebate ones when available no hurry.

the 3rd gen ones will be done very shortly too, after speaking with my partner and also looking at sly's prototype we have decided to construct them in alluminum because non injected plastic can bubble causing more work to do.

im going to be buyin tubing of alli in bulk to make alot of sets

sly are you making fuel and temp gauge ones as well? the pricing for the 3rd gens will be around the $80 mark which will include the smaller temp and fuel guages and maybe even tiptronic and auto gauge bezel (will sell that bit seperately). also got some sheets of brushed aluminum sticker which my sticker man will cut to shape so we can have a full fascia kit, can probably organise brush aluminium or woodgrain sticker fascia for the 2nd gens too.

those white Xi needless of yours sly really add to the impact, the stock ones just wont do it justice eh :D

the 3rd gen ones will be done very shortly too, after speaking with my partner and also looking at sly's prototype we have decided to construct them in alluminum ... Will be watching this thread with some real interest now

Yep I'm absolutely waiting in line for the 3rd gen ones, I've always wanted one of these!

Dave I hope your ones turn out really well, I really like the classy original look and not a tacky looking one and I'd pay a premium for it to be so (to an extent of course) and that means I want that rebate version :D

yep i have no intention of making a non rebate version as it HAS to sit flush and id rather make people pay a little bit extra for something that isnt going to annoy them as you have to look at it all the time.

To be honest, i'd rather pay the extra for the rebate ones - they'll be easier to install and should look way better. IMO, If, i'm going to take my dash apart, I'd rather do the job right rather than just cheaper.
I'd suggest offering people the choice of rebate and non rebate with two prices - then people can decide (but then it's really up to you).

thats looks freakin sweet !!!

depending on the price, i am interested in the rebate ones too, no piss-farting around. Need to see both the chrome and brushed aluminium ones before i decide :)

here is the finished product: note the rebate on the back which sits into the facia.

looks awesome mate! keep up the good work!

yep i have no intention of making a non rebate version as it HAS to sit flush and id rather make people pay a little bit extra for something that isnt going to annoy them as you have to look at it all the time.

thats exactly right SYNRGY. in my opinion only the rebated ones would look good.

GRDpuck, im glad youve said that you wuld like the rebated ones. i dont recommend the other ones simply because they would look like a real tacky bolt on mod. at least the rebated ones look like they are meant to be there.

im having trouble working out a price for them atm, basically because there is so much work involved.

anyways, if people are 100% sure they want some for their 2nd gens let me know on what you want (polished/ brushed) and ill work out a price for them.


oh, i wouldnt acutally call them brushed, its more of a frosted look. ill make up another set in frosted and post pics soon. but in my opinion the polished ones look very classy.

hey man im definately keen id say for the polished ones depending on finances and the price

Sly......would you make them if i paid you upfront?

cause they look insane...

They do look pretty good mate, nice work :thumbsup:.

yes very interested in this looks friggin sweet

p.s I would pay up to $100 for this

Absolutely fantastic, cant wait for the 3rd gen ones!!!:cool:

right well seeing as people are showing an interest in these, please PM me for your orders on what you would like.

a set will cost $90. thats for either frosted or polished.
this includes: speedo, tacho, and fuel/temp rings.
postage shouldnt be too much, and if postage is needed, the rings will be sandwiched between 3mm MDF to prevent damage.

there is only the one design to choose from, only because the damn second gen facia has no room to do anything else :(

im going to start making a few sets up so first in will get a set pretty soon :)

Yep, will look forward for the 3rd gen ones. good work man, they look great.

depending if SYNRGY follows thru with the 3rd gen ones, he will sort you out a set. if he doesnt end up doing them, then ill have to get the dimensions from a 3rd gen facia and ill make them up.

some more pics here. white dials from TUFFTR. cheers mate!

Please post up a 'brushed' & 'polished' example side by side - so we can make a choice.
No rush, I'll have to wait until after pay day anyway lol

Great work mate ! :thumbsup:

yeah top work sly they good great buddy :D

they do add a touch of class
looks like that's what mitsu should've done to the verada's

Thanks JELLMAG :) thats what im after!

BADSEED, youre exactly right. im trying to make the cost as fair as possible considering each ring is made indivually in my garage :)

Well mine have been ordered!

Cant wait to get mine.....just gotta get my UV dash light in and this will look sweet!!!

I'll be the 2nd one with these now :D :D :D

that is nice! every time I see a standard cluster it looks like somethings missing. :confused:

if i had the cash i'd order a set straight away!

new pics arriving shortly. 2 more sets nearly finished.

PM me for orders.

i'll get a set after i pay for my car computer, looks very nice with the black... not so sure with the white (i have white el dials...) therefore u have to keep making them for at least a few weeks.

Note i won't pretend at least 90$ extra disappears from my wallet everytime i get a bit too drunk

hahaha, yeah money soon disapears when you start a good drink huh!?

TUFFTR will have his set very soon, and i will have a spare set sitting around. if someone else wants them they can have them, and ill just make up another set for you. no probs!

i just have to take a pic of a polished one and brushed one. they are done, although im unsure if the camera will show any differences between the two. guess we will see..

If you want measurements for the 3rd gens, you can borrow my facia. But only if you bring the 380 knob and manual gear leather thingy lol.

They look pretty nice!

For those of you who want to whine and complain about the prices, i suggest you dont post in this thread as i will ban you. Permanently.

I have already deleted a couple of those posts.

You have people in this community going out of their way to bring improvements/enchancements to magna's and all you want to do is shoot them down. If the price is too high, the product wont sell and the person will either lower the price or just not make them anymore.

Its a simple thing called supply and demand.

And to finish this off - If you have nothing nice to say, dont say it at all.

i would love a set of these for a 3rd Gen if you choose to make them, preferably in the brushed finish.

Oh and $90 is a hell good price, Just think if it was a Mitsubishi Option when you bought the car it would cost like $500

well pending SYNRGY's plan on making them....i wont be doing any3rd gen ones unless he gives me the "go ahead". he did 'call' the 3rd gen ones.

edited for pics
ok here are the pics of the brushed ones next to the polished ones. the brushed ones are on the left if you cant tell hehe

i find the brushed ones look very sporty, whereas the polished ones add heaps of class...
i guess it depends on the effect you wish to achieve..

which do you recamend for white dials?
which ones is TuffTr getting?
i'll have the opposite

TuffTr is going to decide when he sees both sets. i'm pretty sure he will make a post on which ones he decides on, but ill keep u informed :)

In my car atm i have polished rings and white dials and i think it looks very good and classy. It adds alot of "depth" to the facia without it being to cluttered.

Brushed would look good also, and make the appearance more sportier than the polished
too be totally honest i love them both. i have polished ones in my TS with white dials, and i think ill make some brushed ones in my KR with standard dials.
it all comes down to personal choice i guess but im pretty sure you will be very happy with which ever you decide on!

wouldn't mind some later
just spent $550 on mods
any chance of back orders for the future???

i have all the dimensions on turbo-cad, so i will be able to make some whenever you are ready for them. just allow a day or two so i can get them done.

I dont see the problem in you making the 3rd gen ones, if someone else wants to as well then hey some healthy competition.
I am buying a set for my 3rd gen, whoever comes up with the best looking will get my money for sure, because I have been waiting for these for over a year.

And honestly I am very impressed with your work, you've done well mate.

So 2nd gen owners, snap these up because there worth every penny.

i wouldn't mind a chrome set for a 3rd gen

like i said before, unless i get the "go ahead" from SYNRGY to do them, i will not be.
i wouldnt like anyone to steal my idea for the design of my dash rings, therfore will not be doing it to any other member with any other item. its just not right in my opinion.

trouble is, is that i dont have access to any 3rd gen facia, which will make it hard to come up with a design.

if given the option to make them, does anyone want to be a donor of the facia for a few hours? :)

Can someone give SYNRGY a hurry up?? I'm keen for a set of 3rd gen polished rings :)

Right, SYNRGY has said that i can do the alloy rings for 3rd gens!

so i am wondering if anyone in Melbs northern suburbs wants to be a donor of their dash for and hour or so, so that i can get the dimensions for them ??? :)

i'll take a set of chrome 3rd gen rings as soon as they're done!

Send a PM to Choonga.. he does nothing most of the day.. lol

if anyone wants to help, please pm me.

3rd gen rings will start production once i get the measurments!

Quick, someone get there but over there, so we can get a move on the 3rd gen set.:rant:

will rings for TW's be made? as the gauges are different, and not 'complete' circles. as in the bottom has been 'cut off' them.

thinking they'd look nice on the vrx awd

CRAP!! i just pulled the EL dials out, i could have measured it then!?

what measurements do you need? as the silver paint left a slight ring around some areas on the dials so i could wing it ;)

u have a donor :) pm sent

']u have a donor :) pm sent

too late :P

Wow didn't realise these things would be so popular. Looks like you've got a busy few weeks ahead of you anthony :P.

ok, heres the deal. i need to know what 3rd gen models have the EXACT same facia.

i need to know which set to post out when people order them.

Pretty mines the same as the TL/TW so you can take measurements of mine if you'd like. The only problem i forsee is that mine has a flat face, so how would the ring sit in?

what do you mean a flat face?

the 2nd gens have a flat facia, and flat dials.....is there a difference?

I actually haven't looked (will tonight) but apparently the face doesn't stick out, it's flat against the dial surround. So that would make it hard to fit in, unless you made the ring bend back at a 90 degree angle so that it could slide in behind it. I'll check tonight to make sure what i've been told is true :).

i'm pretty sure TE-TJ01 are all the same

ill just wait till i can measure one up for myself.

My bad i'm thinking of the TL facia being different, nevermind :).

im up for a set of 2nd gen polished ones, if u could make them up for me i would be very happy, can pay for them next friday if they are ready by then. Thanks alot

I just got my polished rings in now, i have to say they look freeken awesome!
Well worth the $90 as they stand out like dog's balls and you instantly go "ohh shiney"

Ill get some pics tomorrow kidettes:)

choonga im closer. i've got both the te-tj series 1 dials and the tj my02 dials

'] i've got both the te-tj series 1 dials and the tj my02 dials
well we can both go over then :P

more the merrier! would that mean they'd be produced quicker? :P

I'm getting some too... they look hot man seriously.
Makes the plastic-looking second gen dash turn into something more classy.

Will be posting out those badges to ya asap mate.
PM me your postal details :D

no idea what you're on about.

ill just wait till i can measure one up for myself.

in the TW, the dials are not recessed like in second gens and earlier third gens. the actual dial sits flush with the surround. (which you recess the ring to fit in second gens.

BUT it would already be too hard to make rings for these as they are not a complete circle, they are 1/2 a circle :)

Let us know when the 3rd gen ones are done... im up for a set... and also might get a set fot the TS

ive got a set here ready for DIMI, so i will make another set up soon.

just remember that they are made to order and i do not keep these as stock. so just allow a week or so, so i can get them done :)

i do need 100% confirmation on each set. either a half or full payment D.D or any other method.

PM me for any details.

They look ok, to be honest they dont contrast with the white dials well, but that may be just the poor quality image. I think they looked better on the black faced dials :).

nah, your just jealous:P

hehe, I know what ya mean, they go well with the black ones really nice, breaks up the colors a bit, but yeah ill get some better shots one day....my hand held camera skills are poor to say the least

Hey i am way keen on a set of these for my TE, polished ones, they look shmicko, are they 90 for the set too?

I'm glad to hear that you are happy with them Paul :)

but maybe next time i bring something over that has been "made to fit", please inform me that you have painted the area that they go on! :bowrofl:
na its all good mate, bit of handy work got over that small problem huh? :)

just a bump to see if anyone else is interessted in a set?

i have a set here atm ready to send out.

for which gen?

2nd gen

k are u still making ones for 3rd gens?

did you recieve my payment mate?

well if 3rd gen owners are like the majority of 2nd gen owners who wanted a set.....then i dont think ill be wasting my time on 3rd gen rings. ppl like to say that they want a set, but dont like to pay.

so unfortunatly im in no rush whatso ever to get the 3rd gen ones on the line.

unless i have genuine ppl wanting a set, i will not be doing them.

:stoopid: Me too

How are the rings afixed to the dash - glue?

slyts6, can you post up some shots from further away, giving a more general feel of the dash with them installed? It's kinda hard to judge with the shots so close up, I like to get an overall feel.

It's something I would be interested in in the future, but not right now. $90 is a bit too pricey for me at the moment, for a purely cosmetic mod. Gotta make sure everything mechanical is top-notch first.

i just used araldyte on both of mine and TUFFTR's. works fine but cant be removed.

i think he likes his tr a bit too much :D

how many people have actually bought these dash rings, they are real nice but as it seems the price is a bit of an issue to some members

hell for the amount and level of work involved the price is damn good as soon as there's a set for a 3rd gen i'm in

lol he knows im playin..

i think he likes his tr a bit too much :D

I have no girlfriend = Car gets all my love:D

Price is not an issue, you spend 6 hours making these, coming from slyts6 himself, its alot of hard work.....so he wont be dropping the price anytime soon....

TS3.0, BR377 and MEIZTOM... if you arent happy with the price, i suggest you dont post in this thread anymore and then go and make good friends with someone who will work for one bowl of rice.

stop wasting my time.

i am still chasing a set, but my altinator broke and stole my money, so later this week.
Ill PM ya

i completly understand when stuff goes wrong science! let me know when you are ready for them and ill make them up for you.

HARRO: payment was recieved. Mailing them off today :)

Ok, So how many upfront payments would be required to make the 3rd gen sets?

And I am talking serious buyers, prepaid and all, NO DREAMERS.

i got no problem with the price, i intend on getting a set after i pay my rego and get my $100 odd worth of gear from mitsubishi then i intend to get some as they suit my overall look im goin for, i can understand the workmanship involved, but on the other hand i get what ppl r sayin.

And I am talking serious buyers, prepaid and all, NO DREAMERS.


Many 3rd gen owners have offered to pay upfront right now! But unfortunatly i cannot take any money until i have made a set and i know they will fit perfectly.

Thankyou to all the people who have offered for the 3rd Gen rings, and i will post AS SOON as a set is completed.

Cheers, Anthony

Thanks, you might want to start a new thread for the 3rd Gen set, this ones getting crowded.:)

hey slyts6 i want some dash rings, i'll give you cash for them tonight if you want...... i have pm'd you.... let me know, before all my money is gone....

Thanks, you might want to start a new thread for the 3rd Gen set, this ones getting crowded.:)


Yeah i will as soon as ive done them!

Andrewd, i cannot take any money from anyone until i have made them.
As far as i know, these rings for 3rd gens might not even work! there could be problems in turning them on the lathe, there could be problems with fitting them to the facia....i just dont know (being a 2nd gen owner lol). so until i can get a hold of a facia to work with, i definatly cannot start making them..
as i have said before, these rings are all hand turned and are made to fit each facia hole, i cannot do "guess work" on them unfortunatly.

As soon as they are made, i will take orders for them. :)

Thankyou all again.

how long do you need a 3rd gen dash for?? im not far from you if it was for a day or so... let me know

OMG.....dude.....loving your car!

it would only be for a couple of hours or so. im waiting on ASYLUM to get back to me with a facia....i would really preffer if i had one for a while so i can make 5 or 6 sets at once....so i know 100% that they fit..

as anyone who has ever used a metal turning lather before....it is very hard turning something by had and getting it within 0.01mm...because even that small amount can mean that it wont fit correctly.

Got a question from left field:

Do you know what cost/work would be involved in getting them anodised? I love the look of these rings on black dials, but may TJ sports has the white dials and I just don't know if it would contrast enough to look as sweet as it does on black. I was thinking maybe a deep anodised red to match the numbers on the dial? I dunno really, would have to try it and see.
Otherwise I was thinking maybe painting the dials themselves a darkish grey/charcoal colour and using the rings as they are. I think some of the BA Falcons have this colour scheme?

Anyway, I'm definitely interested, but not sure about the colours yet.

i actually enquired at a few places and they all qouted me between $140 - $180 a set.
i can get it done if they are wanted in an order, but it becomes very expensive unfortunatly.

Yeah ouch. I'm assuming that's on top of the purchase price. Still, would probably look the goods. What about powder coating? Saw some they did on American Chopper and it looked pretty nice too. Similar to anodised but seemed to be a deeper colour. I wonder if that's a bit cheaper. Might ask around.

Thanks for the reply.:D

ive heard bad things about powder coating, but that was only on rims and stuff. should be ok on dash rings....actually, should be very good on dash rings.....

hmmmmm....might look in to this..

thanks for the idea!

I 'm intrested in the rebated ones for $90.00 if possible including postage to QLD.
So how do you fit them?, do just press them in or what?

i only make the rebated ones. the others dont look right so i didt persue them.

the rings just press in after applying a few dabs of araldyte to the black facia.

it takes about 20mins to do provided you are in a warm room.


please oh please can you post pics of your Touring wagon??? PLEASE!

I will try to take some photos of my car this weekend.:thumbsup:

i actually enquired at a few places and they all qouted me between $140 - $180 a set.You're kidding?
I've looked at anodising a few things, probably about the same volume as each ring (quotes were for 85mm length x38mm diam tube), they said about $8 each, minimum order of $50.
That was Queensland Nameplates (http://www.qnpgroup.com.au/index.html) in Brissy.

could probably paint them for you Aaron in a candy red would look nice

dont ask me, thats what ive been told.

ill ring around again and fax them pics to get a more acurate price. i think anodized ones would look very nice and people would have more to choose from.

let me get back to all of you :)

Are you taking the piss?

I'll give you candy:rant: :P

I'll give you candy

Candy paint is a type of paint Aaron. Where by the paint is actually transparent to a point, the paint is applied of a base colour to give the desired effect.

*calms down, takes deep breaths*:P

Still sounds gehy.:P Funnily enough, that pink car is about the colour I had in mind when I read Lloyd's post, and why I thought he was giving me ****.:nuts:

Thanks for clearing that up:D

i think painting the rings would be a bit too awkward...i mean you have to spray the inside which i think would be a real bugger... although would look hot.

actually its a pretty easy task and being candy it would look hot:D

Just gunna add my point.

Just received this item, and it is WELL worth the price. Look great and well made

Any more progress on the 3rd gen rings...i'm keen

Any more progress on the 3rd gen rings...i'm keen

lots :D

I don't think anyone's mentioned it here, but I was in my mate's TF the other day (yes, the one that just got dented!), and I had a peek at his cluster to see what the go was (being a 2nd genner). From my observations, these rings couldn't readily be made to suit; the edges of the guages had a very pronounced rounding, no hard edge for the rebating to fit to, it just kinda curved for like 10mm around the dials...
Don't know about other 3rd gens, but for this TF Exec, I recon it would be a definite no-go.

thanks to ASYLUM, iv got a 3rd gen facia here. and i dont think the round will be a problem. im yet to make a prototype, but once i do pics will be up and ill be ready to take orders if ppl want a set :)

Hurray!!!

it the look ANYHTING like the 2nd gen ones tell me where to put the money and it will be done

also for the 3rd gens is it just the 2 big circles or the temp and fuel gauage ones as well?

yeh thats what i was thinkin to, if you can do the 2 little ones i will be more than happy to pay any extra cost

also for the 3rd gens is it just the 2 big circles or the temp and fuel gauage ones as well?

Damn Ashneel, you gotta stop having avatars like that... I think I'm getting a crush!!!

Anyways, yeah, I'm sure SYNRGY was planning on making rings for all 4 gauges. It is still only 2 different sized rings, as the fuel = temp and revs = speed, and sly is already making 2 different sizes for the 2nd gen dash.

The first set of 3rd gen rings are on the way my friends.

Pics will be up asap :D

Exellent :D . I'm 100% in for a set for a 3rd gen.

can a 2nd genner please take a full interior pic with these on im really keen to see how these look in contrast to the whole interior and not just on the dials,

thanks

Will post a pic of my interior for you over the weekend TS3.0

heres a quick preview, courtesy of slyts6 :D

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1/asylum83/12-08-06_1202.jpg

very excited!

yep thats the 3rd gen ones :)

these have just come straight off the lathe and havent been polished yet. AS soon as ive polished them up, i will post better pics up :)

just quickly, they look like they have a squared-off edge, what would be required to round them off on the outside edge?

is it hard to do these thinner like as the 2nd gen ones are? They look overdominating on the dash that thick.

']is it hard to do these thinner like as the 2nd gen ones are? They look overdominating on the dash that thick.


thats what i was thinking!!!!! although im interested...:thumbsup:

']is it hard to do these thinner like as the 2nd gen ones are? They look overdominating on the dash that thick.



these have just come off the lathe, so they will look a bit thick. the edges will become more round once i have run them past the cutting wheel and then the buffing wheel.

these rings are only 4mm thick (btw, these have massive metal burrs on them at the moment so that may cause them to look thick). they cannot be made more thinner because on the 3rd gen facia, each hole has a rounded edge unlike the more squarer edge of the 2nd gens. if they were made thinner, they would not sit correctly on the facia and tend to dip in and not stay central in the hole.

Edit: also, the picture quality does not due justice for these at the moment. better pics will be posted as soon as they are completely finished, so don't make up your mind until you have seen them. :D

Lookin hot, get started on my set. I have your k&n filter waiting for you :D

Looks sweet.. sweet a*s sweet... i'll take a set for a 3rd Gen if the price is still around the 90 mark.

cheers for the info. I'm up for a set anyhow, perfectly suit my new interior :)

yeh ill definitly be up for a set aswell....Good work :thumbsup:

I am very interested in a set of 3rd Gen rings. Will keep an eye on the progress.

that look could be achieved with white leds, but can you change the globe in the needle or not?

not really fussed on the colour of the dials etc, just the shape of the rings, how they are a sharp edge inside, but rounded on the outside

hmmm.....let me see what i can do. I may be able to put a 45degree bevel on the 3rd gen ones. there is a good chance that the rings on that pics Asylum are made from plastic...

would 3rd genners rather a bevel or a flat style ring? i guess ill do both, post pics and then you can PM me with what you would like :D

Hey slyts6,

I'm ready to order and pay for a set of the 2nd Gen Polished Dash Rings.
Tried to PM you but your PM box is full (lots of orders for you I hope).

Anyway, if you can please PM me your bank details, I'll deposit the $$ ASAP.

thankyou science. glad you are happy with them :D

Im sending off a few samples of rings to be clear coat anodized within the next few days.

It will be alot cheaper for everyone who wants anodized ones to do it as a group buy. there is a minimum cost involved in anodizing and then a cost for each ring which will be determind once the samples have been sent back.

what i need is for people who are 100% certain in buying a set of rings, to tell me what finish they want on them.

anodizing also comes in the following colours: silver, black, lime green, red, orange and gold.

please tell me what finish you want on them and a price will be worked out for each set. there is no difference in price between colours either.

Clear coat for me :D

sorry should have been more specific. if you are wanting them to be anodized, i need to know what colour also.

thanks

Are there any pics of the anodised ones?

I think I would still just like the polished ones for the 3rd gen, when are these available?

DAFT VERADA: your 2nd gen rings were sent today.

GRDPUCK: your 2nd gen rings will be sent on monday :D

I dont think chrome paint will ever look like true chrome.

if you paint your facia in chrome, and you want a set of rings...the rings will look faded out because the colours will blend too much. the idea of the dash rings was to give the magna dash more depth and colour in a classy modern way. if you painted you facia chrome, it just wouldnt look right.

GRDPuck: Your rings are in the mail as of now :D

ok thanks guys ive just bought my magna and im lookin for ideas how much is it for a set of rings for a 96 TE? im in WA so how much is transport to perth aswell please?

I usually PM intructions to people who have bought them. i can also print off a copy and include it in the box :D

Heya, real keen for a set of 3rd gen rings, how much longer we looking at waiting??

Thanks,
Bonnie

JOSH_93_TR dude i need your address to send your set off! check your inbox man!

heres the installation guide for 2nd gen dash rings. I include these in the box.


Installation of Dash Rings

These rings have been machined out of 2011 machine grade aluminium. Please refrain from touching the rings together as the slightest of touches with any hard object is likely to permanently damage them. Please install these rings on some sort of towel or soft surface. Just in case of the unfortunate event of one of the rings from dropping.
Please try to install the rings in a warm room using Araldyte. The Araldyte will dry quicker if used in a warm room.

Dash cluster removal:

Remove the 2 screws in the top of the dash cluster panel.
Pull the trip needle straight out. Don’t worry, the needle clips back in.
Lower the steering wheel to its lowest point.
Pull the dash panel from the top of the cluster outward.
Remove the 4 gold screws holding the cluster in.
Pull the cluster out gently and lower the top of it toward you and slide it out the left side of the steering wheel.

DO NOT KEEP THE CLUSTER FACE DOWN FOR TOO LONG


Disassembly of cluster:

Remove the light bar from the cluster by removing the 3 small gold screws from the top, and the 2 screws at the back that hold the wires on.
Remove the 2 screws that hold the clear plastic lens on. Then gently press all the clips in one at a time to remove it.
Remove the 2 screws in the back of the cluster that hold the black facia on.
Press in the clips to remove it from the cluster.



Fitting of dash rings:


Try each ring in place one at a time. Familiarising yourself with them and if they have any movement while sitting in the facia.

Install the speedo ring first by applying about 6 dots of Araldyte to the inside edge of the black facia ONLY
Only mix up a small amount of Araldyte, you will need 3 mixings.
Once the glue has been applied to the facia, press the speedo ring in position keeping a constant pressure on the ring.

Do not apply glue directly to the ring before fitting. If you do the glue will press out the sides of the ring onto the facia becoming visible while driving.
The ring will be secured in once the spare glue on the mixing tray has dried.
Once fitted, put the tacho and fuel/temp rings in without glue. This will show you what the rings will look like. There is a small space between the fuel/temp ring-speedo ring- tacho rings,

MAKE SURE THE SPACE IS EVEN BEFORE GLUEING

The 2 other rings can now be fitted, but only one at a time. Make sure the glue has dried before doing the next ring.
Fuel/temp and tacho rings are installed exactly as the speedo ring. Remember to keep constant pressure on the rings while they are drying just by pressing the ring to the facia with you hands.

Once all the rings have been installed, scrape any excess glue that may have seeped through the back of the facia.
Use a lint free cloth such as a micro-fibre one to wipe down the rings from any finger marks left on whilst installing them.


Once cleaned up, refitting of the cluster is the opposite of removal.


Thankyou for purchasing this product.


While every effort has been made to ensure these dash rings arrive to you in perfect condition, it is almost impossible to remove all buff mark and tiny indentations. Please keep in mind that these will not be visible once the clear plastic is installed over them.

GRDPuck: Your rings are in the mail as of now

slyts6, congratulations on the effort you are putting into this mate. They look absolutely awsome! These rings add so much image to the cluster.

I am interested in getting 3rd gen ones for my ralliart once my warranty finishes end of this month.

I have a question though (and maybe ive missed it written somewhere in this thread). The rebate rings sit in through the intrument cluster and also rest on the face? Is there already an opening around the speedo and tacho? im a bit confused, not sure how it works exactly:confused:

i only make the rebated ones now. if you read the installation instructions for the 2nd gens ive provided, it will give you an idea on how they are fitted. im guessing its bassically the same as the 3rd gens.

looking at the pics that Puck has so kindly provided, there is a thin rebate on the back of the ring. that simply sits through the hole on your black facia once the glue has been applied. the rebate is more like a guide so they sit in correctly, so to speak.

Sorry, off topic, but slyts6...love your avtar...AWESOME band :thumbsup: :D

oh ok, i looked back and read one of your posts. So the end on the rebate sits ontop of the dials face and then the outside on the face of the facia. Just so i know, that would mean that the length of the rebate is only about 2m long? (or the distance from the face of the dials to the black facia around it?

Also, where do you buy this adhiesive from and how much is it?

Cheers mate, good work.:cool:

its like that in all 3rd gens man. all you have to do is take the black cover that round the dash that has the buttons for you trip computer out and then unscrew the dash cluster and then un screw and unclip the plastic face. and they clip in the raings and reverse the process :D
