making template for digidash
What's the best way to make a template for a DigiDash, which of course, has screws you have to put into the unit from the back? I have made
several, and still, the holes don't line up properly. I've measured, made it of paper, cardboard, scrap ally, measured twice and all that.
help please.
thank you sincerely

Make two slots, one vertical and one horizontal, so you can adjust the dash location.

If it's the ETB Digidash2 there's a template on the disc that it came with or I think there's one on there website, but make sure
when you print it off your printer does not scale it.
After printing just check the measurements they should be spot on.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Iain

Well that was no better. Template didn't work for me. It's down to large holes so some of the holes are bound to line up, and large
washers. Might need longer screws though. Still don't understand how people to it.

when I fitted a stack dash to a previous car, I just put the dash on the photo copier and took a photocopy.
perfect size/scale, and I just had to cut it out
easy

yes did the photocopy thing. no better. I went with big holes and washers. I don't think you can do it without a drill press, which I have
avoided buying, although it would have been quite useful. Space issues...
