still need to sand down the holes a bit more to make it perfect. also cant do the 2 large holes until i get my speedo and tach so i can test fit before cutting.

looks good man. u gotta love those gages!

Re: Project: Autometer
 

Eric, are you going to mount them on the backside like Mike did, or another way?

Re: Project: Autometer
 

like mike did

Re: Project: Autometer
 

Good choice, they look like the belong when mounted from behind.

Re: Project: Autometer
 

Very good job, Eric! Looks real slick mounted like that. How are you physically mounting them?

Re: Project: Autometer
 

dunno yet. probably with a combination of an epoxy solution and hot glue, along with wire like mike used possibly

Re: Project: Autometer
 

Looks great!

Re: Project: Autometer
 

Always wanted to do that with mine, instead of installing them from the front like most do.

Re: Project: Autometer
 

is there a link to what "mike" did??

Re: Project: Autometer
 

Re: Project: Autometer
 

Jeff, where's the pics of Mike's install from the front?

Re: Project: Autometer
 

That's great, thanks!

Man, that is looking saweet!!!

Re: Project: Autometer
 

I've always wondered why all of Autometer's 5 inch tachs are 10,000 RPM. You can get a 8,000 RPM monster tach in Autogage, but not Autometer.

Re: Project: Autometer
 

I know in Mike's application the speed control wouldn't work with the mechanical speedo. Is the elec speedo compatible with our trucks?
Thanks, Chris

Re: Project: Autometer
 

i dont have cruise anymore so it doesnt matter to me.

Re: Project: Autometer
 

Looking real good. 1 question thow, I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Anything special you need to do to change the speedometer?

Re: Project: Autometer
 

sorta

if you get a mechanical speedo you just have to buy a new threaded speedo cable.

if you convert to electric like mine, you have to buy an expensive sender that goes in place of the cable.
