Super-eta tach - Template or scan?

[Jand3rson]

I just picked up a mint super-eta cluster for my eta (my eta is chipped, and the super-eta tach will show the correct redline), and I want to make one of the Alpina-style green stripes on the tach. I have one that ZM Blue Devil made me for a 325i tach:



But it won't work on the super-eta tach (6k).



I need an actual size template or scan of a super-eta tach face, and I really don't want to take mine apart to get it, major pain in the ass. If someone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it! Maybe you've got a thrashed super-eta cluster, and you could just send me the actual face, that would be rad, too! There might even be a free one in it for you if you can get me what I need. Thanks!

Sorry - I only have "i" stuff. How do you plan on printing it?

[Jand3rson]

My brother in law just got his own vinyl cutting machine, I'm just going to have him make me a sticker-overlay.

[MattM]

can you hook me up with that 325i scale template? i tried to make one, but it didnt work out all that great.

[Jand3rson]

I have a bunch of them that Jordan made a while back. PM me your email address, I'll send them on over.

I can make one, do you think you could get a shot at the super-eta tach head on?

[Jand3rson]

I don't need to have the strip made. I just need the exact dimensions of the face itself, so I can get the spacing right.

A camera is never going to work. You need a flat bed scanner.

I looked at Jordan's old gauge scans for you - but he only did "i" and eta, so S-eta. Sorry.

Was just thinking about recreating the tach on illustrator, a heads on picture would just put everything in the correct perspective, otherwise I would correct the perspective to myself.

[george graves]

Yea, but what I'm saying is that you'll drive yourself nuts tweaking the prespective/distorting it to correct for a small bit of the picture being off kilter.

(but I bet you knew that - blah blah blah)

this cluster is for a e28?

+1

^^^^He's just showing what a S-ETA tach looks like. And yes thats an e28.

[frankenbeemer]

I zoomed in on the tach and missed the clues. Still wouldn't have known it was E-28, good spot.

I get the idea, I've got an S-Eta cluster (not for sale, sorry), but don't want to remove from car (it's too cold outside for a Carolinian, spare me the weather reports). But if it drags out I might get to it. Would be interested in the Alpina stripe myself, looks cool. Subscribed.

I will check today the pile of cluster we have to see if we have a "e" cluster. If so I can scan and send to you.
