Many moons ago the little door on the dash of my jap sami
Fell off. But I struggled to find a good one to replace it.
(Spanish sami ones are a shinny finish and it would bug me)
Ive had a empty hole with just crappy change and rubbish.
At wagtail I got showered in 5p coins and other irritatingly small things
when I hoofed up a small But steep incline.
I like the factory inclinometer but there's no way im paying
The prices they go for!
So after the brutal attack my aftermarket inclo did to me
I ripped it to bits! And decided to start making a better version

I thought this too but its basically two gears and a weight.muddymesser wrote:looks good . . . will be interesting to see if it site level when its in
So I just disengaged the gears and repositioned the weight
Now the dial reads level

Re: Inclinometer my way
I'm impressed and looking forward to see it fitted, I've wanted one for ages and this might be a lot better than a standard one! Or at least cheaper!

Re: Inclinometer my way
looks good man! I think I might rethink my dash Idea and put a phone in that slot... go back to the standard temp gauge and replace the cluster with a working one!
if i can do it anywhere near as tidy as that I'll be impressed

Re: Inclinometer my way
Next step is a bit overkill but im a bit of a factory look
Person. I noticed that the old door is not completely
Flat so ive cut the door in half and stuck the two pieces
And the new frame down on a flat surface and skimmed
Over with filler to match the radius of the panel around the clock
Ill get some photos when ive finished the prep
