Alternative to VDO guages...WAS: ebay rant (short)

[mpeters6@rochester.rr.com (Marc Peterson)]

Yes, I'd like to point out that the first $150 bucks of that was MINE!!
Then, friggin 2 minutes to go, bam $152.   $^%&#^$)*@#-ing ebay vultures...

Anyways, I may just have my brother, the CNC genius himself, take some
measurements next time I see him, and have 20 or so made up out of thin
aluminum plate.

Then I will have my revenge on the ebay gods!!!!

(note to self, less caffeine)
