I pulled the original speedometer and set the new Perfect Speed gauge in its place. The fit is great, and I like the way it matches with the other gauges. I do have to make a little mounting plate to hold the rotary encoder, but that should be some pretty quick lathe work and I have the bar stock in the shop.

Speed Control
I had the engraving done on the face of the gauge today. It didn't turn out as crisp as I had hoped, but it will work just fine. Next up is to finish the wiring and get the linear actuator ordered and all the mounting hardware made. I also updated the software to read the air temperature and humidity. Water temp is next.

Speed Control
Over the weekend I got the face of the gauge cut, prepped and painted. I also got the mounting panel for the LCD and digital display made. I need to let the paint on the face dry for a couple days so I can bake it before I have it etched. Hopefully that will happen toward the end of this week.
