oh, and here are some mockups if you like seeing options. this is what the Ultra-Lite II gauges look like in a 3-hole and 7-hole gauge cluster during the day (gauge faces are black at night with white lettering and orange needle)

i have changed my mind ten times on gauge clusters. first i was gonna use a 7-hole cluster and merge a 3-hole blinker/dummy light setup between the tach...but it looked too weird having new gauges with an older school blinker insert in the middle hole. so then I was going to do a 3-hole dash and remotely mountthe other four gauges, but i wasn't sure about that either.

then i got a glovebox door and started playing with custom gauge layout designs, since the glovebox door fits in the gauge area perfectly with minimal hacking of the dash.

anyway...yeah...haven't gotten them figured out yet.
