Re: Guage install
The Painless wiring kit made it a cake walk for my install. Another vote for them IMO.

Re: Guage install
that looks awesome. I really want to do that to mine but I'm planning on doing them behind the dash so that they are angled up.

Re: Guage install
Yep that is my only complaint but I plan on making some large rings from PVC to angle them up and buy the autometer ones for the small gauges.

Re: Guage install
No I didn't have to. I drove exactly 2 known miles and watched my hand held GPS and it was right on the Money!!! " Sun shines on a dogs ass occasionally"

Re: Guage install
No I did about 35-40 mph because the road was not that smooth.
