max_bobby Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Thanks for doing this, it looks awesome. Couple of questions? Is it simply just putting it over the old dial? Does it come with the small hole for the illumination, like the Prova? Do you have any night pics? Is it easy to remove? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy Road Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Any idea if he's doing a hole for the light to shine thru? 276hp/347tq On a DynoJet Dyno Video - Had a big lean spot as you can tell in the second pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Thanks for doing this, it looks awesome. Couple of questions? Is it simply just putting it over the old dial? Does it come with the small hole for the illumination, like the Prova? Do you have any night pics? Is it easy to remove? thanks No problem... there is a piece of double sided tape at the inside top of the dial. That's it... holds well. There is no small hole for the light to shine through. To be honest, i didnt even know that the prova cover came with one. I actually never gave it any thought, but i guess the base of the dial has a light in it....? I would think that he could drill you a small hole, or you could do it yourself. I don't have any night pics, but i can take one. Its easy to remove as the prova dial cover. Pull gently upward, and it will come off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max_bobby Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Thanks for the answers. There is a little light at the base of the dial. It would be great if he could drill the hole, because I have no confidence in my ability. A night pic would be great. Thanks again for doing this, I am set to buy one. Thanks again.

jasejase Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 No problem. Give me a day or so for the pic. Email Chris at wc. I'm sure he can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Sweet. I will be thinking about a black delrin one in the coming weeks. BTW, pics or ban. No delrin. Only 'copolymer'. Not sure if its actually delrin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Pics of the wc lathewerks at night. Not much to see lol No light really emanates from the dial. http://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg490/jasejase1/15e2b063.jpg http://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg490/jasejase1/25f42a29.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max_bobby Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 So I contacted Chris about the opening. I sent him pics of the legacy si drive dial. He indicates that he can do it but needs to know I quote him "the the exact location of it. How good are you with measurements? Do you have a caliper or something really precise". If anyone can assist with this, it would be greatly appreciated. I am not good with measurements, and I will screw it up if try. Trust me, I'm that guy. Thanks in advance if you can assist.

jasejase Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I actually ordered this caliper this week... i will have it in a couple days if you want to wait...

Rome_STI Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I've had the polished one for around a year now...it looks so sweet and matches my mcintosh knobs. Only issue is that (I think due to the heat of the sun) it tends to rotate left or right instead of staying centered. I don't use it anyway as I drive in S# all the time so just use the button on the steering wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Prova or WC Lathe? Assuming prova, as wc never made one before this (for the US leggies)... Or you're speaking about an EDM/JDM legacy... Or Wrx... Im thinking about getting mine powder coated black... havent decided yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rome_STI Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Prova SI drive cap, same as the black one in the first post but it's a polished silver instead. And it's an AUD Legacy (or Liberty) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Nice! The prova was a nice looking cover... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max_bobby Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Update. Got an email back from Chris, and the measurement is the best way for him. So with that being said, jasejase can you help with the caliper measurement. Chris needs, “I just need them to measure from the center of the dial to the center of the little hole”. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 No problem.. i have my new caliper... The issue is... is that i have NO IDEA where the little hole is. I have the standard WC Lathewerks from chris, without the hole... And i have no idea where the hole should go! I would ask hicksta13 (hes a mod and all over these forums), and ask him to measure it.. or BMX045. They both have the prova dial. Let me know the measurement, as i may drill a hole there!!

max_bobby Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Hey jasejase, I was thinking that maybe Chris wants the measurements of the actual SI dial on the car, and not a Prova dial?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 The stock dial? He has all those measurements, as I gave them to him to make the dial cover.... I'm not really sure where/how the prova cover gets the light. I Didn't even know it had a hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max_bobby Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I have looked at the prova cover on page 2, and it just seems like a simple hole that lets the light out. http://forum.liberty.asn.au/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=8496 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
