Thumbwheel dimensions?

[granatl]

Can someone post the exact dimensions of the MaxEffort Thumbwheel controller?
I'm getting an ashtray switchplate made and I'd like to mount it in that.

I've seen 2 different thumbwheels used, one is actually a "wheel" that you rotate, the other is a push button like this one in between the gauges I have:

Don't have the dimensions, just cut it close with a dremmel then used a file to make it exact with trial and error.

Mine truly has the wheel.
1. A buddy of mine has it to repair a broken wire, so I can't get the dimensions quickly.
2. BFH is making the switchplate. He'll do a whole lot better with a Dremel than I will.

The new style thumbwheel require an opening 0.875 x 0.425. This is the "pushwheel" design which is slightly smaller than the earlier thumbwheel switch. If you are using the early style switch, the dimensions are 1.218 x 0.625.

Those are Cyberdyne's digital gauges, I think the same manufacturer makes the Dakaota Digitals and Nordskog, you can get them from Jegs or Summit, just stay away from the Fuel Pressure gauge, its a POS, had several and not not would read the pressure accurrately, nor do they register fast enough, by the time they catch up to the actual pressure when hitting the turbo boost, its time to let off. All of the other gauges are very nice and seem to be accurate.
