Default Speedometer

Does anyone know the diameter of the speedometer. I want to make a transparent overlay for it. Also how do I remove the outpart of the speedometer to get to it ? Do I have to removed the whole dash? It looks as if I can just pop off the front of the speedometer frame somehow.

I bought speedo "skin" from this guy. I think it was worth the full 20 bucks so I went for it.
Varied choices.

Thanks Chris!

I don't mind competition. Just don't take my work to do it. That'd be like me stealing speakers from Elemental Designs, painting my own logo in the middle and selling them as my brand.

I sent a very short message to see if I'd get a response.

I haven't made anything Christian but I'll make anything you want.

I can't tell who it is so I have no way of knowing if he's ever bought one. He has seven plates listed and all are different and I can see things on them that I did. It would be one thing if one design looked close but I see my stuff in all seven. It looks like he took them from the thread on this site or my site and went to work on them.
