<P>I would use pvc or plastic tubing if I were you, easy to cut, glue and work with. In my project, I used plastic tubing made for central vacium unit, they come in lenghts of 3 feet, have thin walls and you can also use the coupling for those to make the face plate</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Hey everyone...
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I want to construct my own gauges for my 109 pit. I do not want them to be working, just simple gauges that look authentic. I was thinking of using soup cans, painted black. I have a book that has every gauge the 109 had. SO I would simply make a good copy, glue it on a soup can, and I have my gauge. Cover it with a piece of plexiglass. The problem though is how to make the very thin rims on the upper face of the gauge. Not sure what to do. Would love to hear from you guys

<DIV></DIV>>thanks
