So, can you tell me more about your gauge tester? I am very interested. I am using a 0-500 adjustable pot now but it is a little cumbersome. Does your devise also test temp and amp gauges? I would be willing to work out a deal with you on my good lens if you can share the secret, or better yet make one up for me

Let me know, PM me if you prefer,
Thank you,
Tom

FYI my name is Bud (budman) The paint I used was rust-oleum metallic finish it reacted with the plastic causing it to crack all the way thru the lens and only in the area's that I painted with that paint. that is the first time that has every happen to me. As far as the tester its simple after several failed attempts to build one with resistors, I talked to an electrical engineer and he suggested using a pot so I purchased a 0 to 200 ohm and solder it to a project board from radio shack with some of there alligator leads and a battier hook up. it will test the fuel, temp, as far as the amp I just use a battier and reverse the voltage to see if it will move. I did find out that it only works if the gauge is mounted in the panel for a ground if it out of the metal housing it wont work it has something to do with the grounding. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v...type=2&theater
