Re: Where did you put your gauges?

Another shot while driving. Gotta love overdrive! Just over 70 mph at 2000 rpm's!

FINALLY!!!!! I'm pleased you posted this picture. Its the idea I've had for the longest time. I had seen 1 or 2 gauges individually but never a whole matching set with the same font style. Did you need to use the metal backing or is that just the bezel?

I'm glad I could help! I modified the backing plate and used it also. You could probably get away with not using one, but it holds things together nicely and I was able to retain the stock turn signals. Here is a pic of the back.
