AiM Digital Cluster mounting plate

[Matt]

Fabbed up this plate to hold the cluster in. Has tabs welded on the back to hold it into place. Not sure if I want to just paint it black or have it anodized with the next batch of parts that I get done.

Who does your anodizing? I think it would look cool if it were anodized black, but that could change depending on what car/interior/dash setup is.

Or maybe wrinkle coat it?

[Matt]

Anodics does my anodizing. They are off Beach and 820 behind the church. If you ever need anything small, we should go in and split it up. It's a minimum $75 and they usually have it done with real fast turn around time.


Here is how it use look but I decided I don't like the look anymore.

That's going to look a lot better!

I've talked to them a while back when I wanted my wheels done, but he was pretty high - seems they aren't really setup for doing wheels?

They are REAL close to me, I'm just in Saginaw.

I did it that way so I could see the fuel level. The civic doesn't have a low fuel light, so I guess I will just rig some kind of sensor. Do you know of any that I could weld a bung onto the gas tank and it comes on when it doesn't trigger the fluid at that level?

I have never tried getting wheels done so I don't know.

The company I worked for built custom waterjets and aircraft machinery, and maybe he gave me a better deal because I worked for the company that did a lot of business with him?

It's been a couple years since I have needed anything anodized.

The only thing I could think of would be a low oil level sensor, like what's used in a fox Mustang. I bet you could make it work, afterall, that's what it does - it comes on when the oil is low. Hell, that's a good idea, I might have to put one on my 15gal fuel cell. lol.

IDk, about that pricing, I just called - he said he could do the wheels, but it would be tought because of their vats arent' that big. There's another place over off of Meecham that does a LOT of big stuff, but he was HIGH. They do a lot of aerospace stuff, and I'm sure he's just used to that pricing schema. bastards.

[Matt]

Good idea. Can you get them pretty cheap? Or have any extras laying around?

I can wire it up to one of the lights on the cluster since it has 6 different warning lights lol

Might even get 2 and use another one for the oil

No, I sure don't have any of them, but they can't be too hard to come by i woudln't think.

I looked on ebay, there's a bunch of them on there for various cars. One may work better than the other for you. I searched "low oil level sender".

I'm sure they have them at Autozone though.

[Matt]

There are several cars that have them. I just need to find someone that has a pigtail to go along with it

[dville_gt]

they come in every lsx oil pan as well.

[Matt]

Yes they do. I was trying to see if my buddy had a pigtail off of his harness he isnt using.

If all you need is the clip with a section of wire still attached you can solder to, I have several harnesses I used as donors.

Remind me AGAIN tomorrow.
I was busy at work(usual) when you sent me that email.. I'm sure I can get one off of "D" since ive got a lot of my small misc parts from him.
