The back, however, looks pretty crude,
if I'm seeing it right. I have one here that someone did a number on
and its
back looks much the same.
I agree, the back is rough. I wasn't originally planning to use the
tach for this purpose and it took a bit of a beating. Fortunately, you
don't see the back in a Type 3. <G>
Mayby you should make kits that just include the special custom made
parts and
let people do the rest of the work themselves. Your parts are all CNC
now
aren't they?
No CNC stuff......just good old fashion hand machining. Of course I
have an Illustrator file for the numbers, that I would gladly send to
anyone that is interested in trying their hand at this. Any decent
vinyl lettering shop should be able to cut a set for someone.
