V1 .DWG file for the button panels??

[ColoradoCryptoTrader]

Took me a few tries but I made a pretty accurate .DWG for the Cobalt gauge cluster.

Actually, you can do that just by editing your post via the "delete" option. Doing that will delete this post too

I do not have a delete option on my original post

Right below the text on my previous post are "Report Edit Delete"
I'm using a laptop. If you're using a phone, it might not be there.

Edit and delete are a pull down beside the report button on my phone.

Actually if you just made you own DWG file perhaps you could not delete the post but paste a link for others to down load it from somewhere?

here is what I am working with right now, let me know if you want a copy to mess around with
might still tweak the cutout for the OEM cluster still. but its fairly close. Ill have an air to air intercooler with an additional fan on a toggle.

Nice job, I like it.

your sub frame trailer hitch is a brilliant idea, might have to steal that from ya

The gauge panel looks great and you have most everything that could be needed in a Goblin. Make sure to check you can reach the right side switches strapped into your seat - unless you have long arms like some of us (sqwatches are know for our long arms ). Send photos once you have the prototype done.

little mock up using printer paper + cardobard + 3m spray glue. Works great, time to get this cut from Aluminum. I have been using sendcutsend.com to get parts made.

good point about reaching the buttons, we shall see if I can reach.

That's called CADboard. Best mockup system around.

Also make sure the area below the gauges doesn't interfere with the shifting.

Nothing like good old Cardboard Aided Drafting

Good question.

In gears 1,3,5 does the top of shift knob pass farther forward than a vertical line drawn from the front face of the OEM cluster? It doesn't look like it will touch.

With the group buy shifter setting all of the way back, I’ve avoided mounting anything under the gauge because it’s pretty close. I can’t compare to the other options. This is with a fairly tall shift nob but it is closer than the picture makes it look. When actually shifting it’s about flush with bottom edge of gauge and about 2.5” down.

okay, thanks for the picture there, I already ordered the dash so I will find a way to make it work and be usable.

After driving my car today, I can say that my knee would hit the dash panel also. That may vary depending on your size and seat choice.

thanks I am 5'8" with an extended frame so perhaps that extra 4" of frame length will help me in that regard

I got these 1/2" hole engraved toggle switch and gauge labels made from https://www.legend-plates.com/ great company highly recommeded.

This is going to look really kind of like a retro switch and monitoring panel.
