OK, consider this. If you could make the upper and lower plates round and make them just a tad bigger, at 14.323956" diameter, then each 0.125" around the outer perimeter would equal one degree. You could glue a cloth (actually, they're fiberglass, I keep one in my drag strip toolbag) seamstresses tape around the bottom plate perimeter and attach a pointer off the top plate.
So you have a top plate and a bottom plate. For a locating device, heavy wall aluminum tubing. Sleeve could be, for instance, 2 1/2" O.D. with 1/4" wall. Bore 2 1/2" hole in bottom plate to accept tubing. Glue vinyl tile to each plate and coat liberally with grease.Last edited by techinspector1; 03-16-2010 at 01:28 AM.

Thanks guys! It's been a long road. Fun doing finishing work for sure. Getting the dash ready for paint and some interior trim. Have to do some finish work on the aluminum headliner before...
