#41388, "my gauges and steering wheel hub mod (finally got pics!), tell me wat u think"
Well this pic isn't the best but u can see one really good thing about this hub I made, I kept my cruise control. Look at the bottom of wheel where i put the cruise control. That is Something that is very hard to keep if u have a aftermarket wheel hub. It took me about 3 days to perfect this. Simple geometry let me have a perfectly center fit. I used the old wheel hub and cut all the metal till I left only a circle. I drilled the 6 holes in the hub i made for the screws from the steering wheel to fit. Next I screwed screws about 2 inches in legnth into the wheel to the hub. I put like all washer around the screws inbetween the hub and wheel so the fit was really tight. I fianlly used bolt on the end to lock everything up. you could wack it with a mallet as hard as u can and it will still stay tight. The red u see above the wheel is just electrical tape as my decoration to cover the cutting marks haha.
The gauges I got form blackcatcustom, they light up light blue and I have the blue needle kit. I will posts some pics of night if they ever come out.

the gauges are not indiglow, i actually had to take the needles off to put these on. They just have a blue tint under the gauge like the orange on the stock ones. the needles are blue from painting them blue and they have tiny blue led's under them. Intelliglo needles was the kit i got.

Cool, In this case I will go ahead and make a detailed write-up on the wheel hub mod. Hopefully I can have a good write-up done in 1-2 weeks. I had more pics but like none of them came out. I just got access to a digital camera, so I should have no trouble with the pics this time around. Just as heads up this mod is on the hard side but can be 100% prefect with patience, accuracy ,and tools. I will give all details in my write-up.
