Now you just need a real panel huh?? Dropping off samples today, pick up tomorrow, in the UPS (Again) by Wed hopefully.  We'll see if it works better this time around.

Well I called Faria and they told me to send it back.The gauge is no good with the needle all the way to the right.Spoke to a nice guy from Faria.Will see what happens.

No need to worry they will send you a new one no questions asked. So Mark, did you decide between the two layouts for your gauges yet?

[Mark Sr]

No,I waiting for a new panel from Flounderpounder.The first one he sent reached Pa. and someone stole it at UPS warehouse.They found the emoty package.So Marc is nice enough to get me another one made.My son likes the one with the 2 big gauges up top and the five small ones on bottom.I still have to find a Faria Euro SS water pressure gauge with a flat glass.I've only been able to find one with a dome lens.Its still cold so I have plenty of time.

That sucks!  I hope UPS is paying for that second one.

[Mark Sr]

It was insured.

[Mark Sr]

Well my panels arrived today in one peace.They are really going to look sharp.I really want to thank Flounderpounder(Marc) who really went out of his way to help me out.He had to get me a second panel after the first was stolen at UPS.People like him and others make this such a great site. Will show pics when I get the panel cut out.

Glad you got the latest ones intact.
Just a OBTW to the other members on here, I have a guy here in town Creative Acrylics, does good work, and very reasonable, the two pieces (Gauge panel and Glove Box cover) was $27.  Granted, you can use plexi-glass and paint the back side, which is ok, but this acrylic is a little harder and I think it holds up a little better in the weather.  So just an offer, if anyone doesn't have a local guy, and needs a panel made, I will do it for you for cost plus shipping, and maybe a few beer bucks.  Of course the only sample I have is for the 245 Osprey mid to late 90's, with the dash and glove box panels.  But you can send me your current one, and I can have it copied.  I have a full compliment of Starrett Hole saws, so I can make your holes also if you know where you want them, or you can do the holes if your making a new application, or changing your current set up.  Just tossin it out there.
