My inst. panel upgrade...
If you missed the thread when i was workign on it...here you go. Sun Pro (did you know Snap- on makes them??) 2 inch guages...new line of mechanical ones...oil, temp, and VOLTS...no more stupid amp guage. (I never did like amp guages) I was kinda scared cutting everything up to get the tach in there... lots of cutting and all I had was a pair of wire cutters to do it with. I figured that I was gonna cut the lense in 1/2 right across the speedo or on the fuel guage, but I guess I got lucky. You don't wanna see this thing taken apart. It looks nasty in there. |

That looks good Andy......only one thought. If you add a vacumn guage to the 1 space left, I think it will balance out the setup, & also be a nice "tuning tool"

I have been thinking about the odd hole...I won't put anything in there onless it matches the rest of them...so i guess I need a Sun Pro catalog. I wouldn't mind an Exhaust ges temp guage...a vac guage, or a tranny temp. Those are the ones I am thinking of...but leaning to the tranny temp deal.
Hmmm...Montana or North Dakota? Why would I want to live in either of those states? Actually, i have never been to either...so I can't talk bad about them. Flat lander..and damn proud. |
