[sinister6]

ah that looks sweet! probly helps havin a shmick lookin head unit. how hard was that to install an make work properly?

[sv0478]

it wasnt all that hard at all

all i used was a thin peice of aluminum.... cut it to shape...cut the holes in it for the gages
and to hold the plate in i just picked up 2 screws holes that i found in that area

hrm, ok then. can you use the original wires for vaults and water temp or do i need to install new senders?

[sv0478]

voult i just connected to the battery(from memory)... water and oil i had to use new senders.... but they should come with the gages....
i just tapped into the opposite site to where the original water sender was....
so both the gages work... the one in the dash and the one i put in

[sinister6]
