5" Autometer Template Assistance

[Ssamara]

Hello fellow Corvette slaves,
I find I fall into this category with the amount of money I have invested into this project. I am in the final steps of putting the body back onto the frame and since my brother-in-law is using both mine and his cherry pickers I needed to find something else to do in the mean time. So I figured I should start getting the interior ready so I can put it in when body and frame unit again.

So here's my questions does anyone have some pre-cut 5" autometer templates they don't need? Or does someone have the abilities to have a machine (cnc, water-jet) cut them pretty easily? If so please let me know.
Thank you,
Fellow Corvette Salve.

Since I know I love to see pictures of other peoples work:



Hope the picture worked!

you can cut these using simple hand tools, no high tech required ...

Yea, they are. To be honest they came on my M5 rollers never used them personally. Do you like them? I have a 1999 Camaro SS with Nittos 555 in the front and 555Rs in the back with a 315/35/17 and they don't hook all too well. The Camaro is only making 346 wheel horsepower. But anyways great eye on the wheels!

I didn't use the template to make my brackets. I just traced the outline of my existing speedo/tach housing on a metal plate and used a jig saw to cut it out as well as the hole needed for the Auto Meter gauges. Then drilled the mounting holes and dressed the edges with a file to smooth them out a bit. Prime, paint, done. Doesn't have to be perfect as very little of the bracket shows after installation.

Love them on my Camaro, they replaced 245/50/16 (I forget what make) but the car can easily do 10-15mph faster around any corner. I drove it about a week ago in heavy rain and they dispersed water pretty good. I've had the car at high speed and they do quite well. As for hooking up this is a V-6 camaro, it could break the 245's loose at will but can't even get these to break loose even power braking it. I bought them brand new for my 90 vette but then decided on ZR1 rims on the vette and since the camaro needed tires I put them on it.
