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

Sorry Bud, I have no idea where I thought your name was Alan. Thank you for the tips on the tester and the paint. I use that same paint to paint screw heads with.

If you want the lens I have, $50.00 shipped to you. I will not be able to ship it until Wednesday. If you want, send a paypal to tbonegarris@yahoo.com.

OR:
If you want to make me up a couple of the testers you made, I will do an even trade with you for the lens.

Let me know and I will get it ready to ship. PM me your address information if you are interested.

Thank you,
Tom
