i'm not sure the on\off needs to be eliminated with the smaller gauge, i don't have one in hand to tell you that, i assume it can be done without having to do that, but the work to re-shape the vent side AND include the on\off will definitly inpact price.
In addition, depending on year, some yurs have raised portions indicating on\off, while others are lettered in white., to keep these symbols while shaping the side is next to impossible.

You'll have to talk to dpa43 and see if he'd be interested in doing that for you, it's his design and i'm not going to step on toes and offer it to others.
Josh, was there a specific reason to do it in the 2 5/8" size rather than 2 1/16"? Was it just because of the size of the coin tray, personal preference, etc? I'm thinking if I get dpa43 to do it in 2 1/16" then yours should be the same, if for nothing else, appearance's sake and conformity.
What are your thoughts?
AND, does anyone know where I can pick up indiglo gauges to match those from the recent GB ? These are the only ones I've found so far and I'd like some other ones to choose from. They're also not showing voltmeters or the air/fuel meters (aka light shows...for my purposes).

Autometer, Faze, there are a few others. You could also do what dpa (and I think stazi) did and just use the blue bulb covers. It looks surprising good.

I chose 2-5/8 solely for visibility, i intended to do 2-1/16, but later changed my mind i ordered the gauge.

if i missed anyone please add yourself.
if you're not SERIOUSLY interested take you name off the list.
I still need a 2-1/16 donor pod...i'm considdering taking the one out of the svt for that, but that will be an absoute last resort.
Once the GB tread opens up for the 2-5/8" people, it'll be first come first serve, so keep an eye out.
