Do it your self mechanical indicators
Has anyone made their own mechanical indicators? I am interested in doing a pop up kind but could use some advise from anyone who has some suggestions or done it already.

Make 3 and il make it worth your troubles. I want the pop up kind also and there really pricey for the twin drive and twin tab. Reason being I would like to use the spot on the dash where the factory indicators are for a gps unit. Order one for mock up then return it

All they are, are cables with fancy ends on them with graduations. Just need the right machines/knowledge to make it look a little better than the cable ends fastened to your Stanley tape measure going in and out. Hardest part would be the cable holder.

I made a single trim indicator attached to drive using a throttle cable with a pointer attached to end that runs over a graduated aluminum plate screwed to my dash with cable hidden behind dash
I mainly wanted it for optimizing my wide open setting to avoid over trimming or under trimming when racing.
Just set it on the mark and mash the throttle.
No guessing!

I made mine... not too tuff if you already have the cable set up.
