    Picked up a steering box and a dash.

    I should have a steering car with a dash in it pretty soon.

    Nice parts! I'm anxious to see how the Borgeson box fits up and how it works with your 1.5 steering quickener.

    I've decided that the quickener will be a weekend project after the car is back on the road.

    The project is pushing out longer than I would like, so I'm knocking down some scope creep where I can.

    I'm waiting to see the quickener project. Would like to do the same to my car.

    I had some time to upfit the 3D printed speedo mount into my sacrificial dash. Fits perfectly. Now to smooth it out...

    Too bad you can't print the whole cluster pushed back. If you notice, the rallye cluster and switch panel are pushed farther back than a standard dash.

    Thanks. Given I expect to do some auto crossing in the car, I preferred the tach to be more prominent. The speedo will be good enough to see with the gauge and digital readout.

    I could have but I have really been working around the smaller tach moreso than going for the recessed look. That's as large as I could get that gauge and needed a way to integrate it well.

    The other gauges will be almost flush and I wanted the bigger [2-5/8"] faces. Usually they are 2-1/16" if recessed.
