finally got my autometer cluster done, my way.

well i haven't finished installing it in the truck but the guages are in and wired up with the harnesses i should be 100% done by tomorrow.

I used the not so popular 3 3/8 speedo and tach and the 2 1/16 guages, which i think it looks better and gives me more of an angle for the guages. I will get some more pictures when i have it in the truck.

Re: finally got my autometer cluster done, my way.

well guys i hooked it up today and it looks awesome in there, i am going to buy the factory aluminum bezel to put back on my cluster but other then that im all smiles. As for how i did it i just followed the wiring on another thread in this forum but i had use some patience to make the guages fit the way i wanted to. the 3 3/8 guages to fit in the holes the way they are supposed to i used i trim bezel that they sell for speedboats, i think it looks cool in my eyes, and they are available in a sh!t load of colors too for those that are interested. Invested in it i have about 350 bucks because the tach and the speedo set you back about 100 bucks a piece and the 4 smaller guages are about 40 bucks a piece. and all the led bulbs were 30 bucks. I got a cool trick for my turnsignal bulbs but i didnt take pictures before putting everything back together. here are some pics.

Re: finally got my autometer cluster done, my way.

Looks good man, I like the looks of them recessed into the bezel like that, I wish mine angled up alittle to make them alittle easier to see...
