JFI.. I DID A LITTLE COMPARISON WITH AUTO-METER COMPAIRABLE KITS JUST FOR MY OWN INFO. AUTO-METER KITS COMPAIRABLE TO THIS ARE AROUND $280 MINUS THE TACH. WITCH IS ABOUT ANOTHER $100 & THEY DON'T COME WITH A NEW FUEL SENDING UNIT. 280 + 100 + SHIPPING. I DONT KNOW WHAT THE DOLPHIN SET GOES FOR (OR HAD ANY EXPERIANCE WITH THEM) & HAVE NEVER MET OR EVEN TALKED TO THIS GUY THATS SELLING THEM, BUT WITH $s BEING HARD TO COME BY IN THIS CRUMMY ECONOMY, BARGAINS & DEALS ON NON-ESSENTIAL PARTS & PROJECTS SEEM TO BE COMMING OUT OF THE WOODWORK AS PEOPLE NEED THE MONEY. I HAVE A SET OF A.M. ULTRA-LITES WITH A 5" TACH & SPEEDO (WITH THE ADDITION OF A TRAN.S TEMP GAGE) THAT I BUILT FOR MY ONGOING MONEY-PIT PROJECT THAT I PAID $550 FOR A FEW YEARS AGO. MAKE THIS SEEM LIKE A BARGAIN. MY THOUGHTS WERE TO EITHER HAVE SOMEONE TURN UP SOME ALUM. BEZELS TO MAKE THE 3 1/8" GAGES FIT IN A STOCK I-P, OR BUY ONE OF THE BLANK ONES THAT ARE ON EBAY ALL THE TIME.
