He said the overlay would be about 1/16" thick and wanted to know if that would be ok. I said yes and showed him photos of the trim on the top of the console the dial fits into. Explained to him how he cannot drop down any lower on the bottom edge than the current dial and the center has to remain open for the gear display. He wanted to know if he could make it taller and more stout and gave me examples but told him with the gear display in the center that would not look good and I cannot raise up that gear display. The manual button in the center pushes three plastic rods down into the control box pushing buttons on the control board. Not like you can really do anything with this control box to alter or modify it.

Interest expressed and I'll second the emotion for clean and simple, gloss black.
KB, Bravo on the killer avatars....I come here partially just to see what you have come up with.

You know you can see all but the most recent avatars via the link in my signature, yes? And those are full-resolution. :-) They change pretty often so occasional visits will miss a few.

I'll do my best to keep 'em coming. <bigger grin>

Thanks KB, just looked at all the avatars. Still amazing to me about photoshop. One day I will sit down and buy the program and learn it

My daughter is good with PS and she told me that years ago. Might be why I never chose to use it back then.

I expressed interest in the gloss black version.

Mark, thanks for bring this to our attention and going out of your way to help make this possible.:clap:

Hey Earl, no problem. I have been working with Kevin on sizing and different shapes but we have come to the conclusion to pretty much keep it as close to the original shape as possible. He also likes the plain black dial like I think many here do. He should be getting the dial on Friday or Monday so may come up with more ideas then.

This morning Kevin asked me if there were any other parts that needed to be improved on in the GT500 and I told him not that I would want to change. So far, he said 21 people have expressed interest in the dial overlay and he needs at least 50 but it has only been one day so I am pretty sure we will get there.
