Well the Studebaker owner stopped by recently with the dash pieces I made last summer. He had made up his mind for the dash layout, and received all the gauges. As the panel for the center of the dash has a crown, we will need some adapter rings...
Here's the new gauge with the clamping bracket....
Not having a slip roll, I decided to try these in the bead roller:
I had some help in the shop this evening, so in addition to having the powered option on the bead roller this evening, given the diameter of the gauge bezel, I was able to show her real world application of Pi X D....
Just to test fit, here's the gauge with bracket, and the ring placed over both....
Both rings formed, tomorrow we'll get them welded up and tip some flanges for the bracket to push against...

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
