Wanted: Guage Cluster Template
Does anyone have a jpg or similar of the center guage cluster?
I mainly need the outline dimensions in a line drawing, but anything actual size will do.

Thanks guys, What I'm really after is a jpg, or pdf, CAD like drawing of the guage cluster bezel. I'm designing an aluminum replacement with a logo similar to this:
I want to figure out how far down to put the "CORVETTE" so that it's near the bottom, and where to layout the guages. I'm using 25/8" guages to give my aging eyes a break.

so.. you need a scan of the area for the gauges? I'm kind of lost... (after trying to squash that damn bug for an hour)...

Hi Willcox, Yes I need something that I can use to layout the space that the guage cluster currently occupies. I'm guessing at the moment based on some measurements I've taken.
If it doesn't exist, then I'll take mine out and create one and post it here. I'm just hoping it already exists.
This is what I'm doin as a "guesstimation" in photoshop:
I develop software, and I'm in the process of creating a new product - so bugs are a big part of my life at the moment. Thus the silly avatar
Maybe its time to change it.

I'll have the shop cut all the edges off an old one, then lay it in the scanner on Monday. You can keep the bug.. I actually think it is pretty funny...
