Items # 5 & 6. Its easier to see in the print catalog.

Also, not 100% those would bolt into a standard cluster case, but it does appear the mounts are the same as a clock. So if a clock mounts in any cluster, then so will the LMC fuel gauge.

As for wiring, its simple enough to solder 3 wires to the printed circuit traces and run them across the cluster to the fuel gauge.
I'm leaning toward going exactly this way. I can make it completely factory looking, then use my laptop for data monitoring only when I need it...
