hi everyone with 3rd gens

as some of you are aware we are making 3rd gen dash rings to go around the speedo,tacho,fuel and heat gauges

what i need to know is are TE to TJ S2 fascia's all the same? if people have pics of their dash that would be great to

the reason for this is i want to make the rings for all 3rd gen models (so when designing the rings i can keep an open mind).

if you have a 2nd gen you can put an order for them to slyts6 who can be contacted here http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37194


thanks guys

Yeah they are the same

isn't the difference between TE/TF and TJ the digital odometer

i know this because i bought some EL dials to suit a tj and the line up perfectly on my TF except for the cut out for the odometer

edit - found pic of TJ dials on hardrive

my TF and TJ S1 dials are the same

some pics for reference

thanks heaps guys :D

also a pic of a tiptronic dash would be good too

Heres one off ebay

The circumfrence should be the same across the board if thats what your worried about.

And how much roughly are we looking at for a set of them???

the circumferances are identical.. but the older dial surrounds are curved. tj my02 up though they are flat. Checked it between my car (tj my02) and dads (tj s1)

Um guys.. I have a paper template riiihgggttt here..

When I put my chrome bezel in I traced it first :D

Is this what you are making?

well we are making the aluminium dash rings but also going to offer that fascia in a few styles as well

the chrome looks good mysti! very distracting i would think tho

its looking at around the $80 mark as its not cheap to make
this is for rings for fuel, speedo, tacho, temp and maybe the auto gear selector

Ahh..

You will find its not that distracting - it doesnt reflect too much as it is so far back in the dash cluster.. Ive never had a problem.

there is a lot of work involved making these up.

the good thing with the 3rd gens is that you have the speedo and tacho the same size, and the fuel and temp the same size. which means there should not be alot of waste off the matterials if you played your cards right SYNRGY.

with the 2nd gens, 2 different sized pieces of aluminium are needed to do the 3 rings :(

Hello! I guess this dash mod isn't available to KH onwards Veradas which have the backlit dash which looks totally black when switched off...looks impressive and works well......I'm just of the opinion that it would be a sh*tload of $$$ if we tried to open one up and botched it up!!

Besides, the speedo & tacho are massive, much larger than the standard TE-TH dash. (In fact I believe from KJ II onwards they re-introduced a revised backlit dash, with SMALLER meters!

Maybe my chrome is more shinier and better looking :P every now n then ill get a particular angle of light, but the white dials even reflect from time to time (gloss finish)

Sooo... what's the go with the rings SYNRGY?

TL's cant have the rings... grrrrrrr

TL's should be able to have them. Anything is possible with a bit of imagination and the right equipment.
