new idea for centre dash gauges

[creedyflyr]

Ten points for effort, however I dont like the look of the big mound on your dash.

I prefer the look of the one below, which I brought on Ebay for like $50. They basically have the two gauges (no big mound behind them) and the gauges are pointed To you, not straight in front like the cheaper ones.

I think those ones look out of place, ruins the clean lines of the dash & those screw holes are dam ugly. I found this one on ebay for $90, it uses the same clips as the cover so its a straight swap. I just had to paint it myself to match the dash. The gauges are slightly angled toward the driver, just enough so you can read both gauges easily.
Lovin the 3 gauge binnacle, cant wait to see it finished.

is it pricey getting the gauges wired up?

I'd say put away at least $200 and you should have change left over, albeit they are not hard to wire up. make sure you get the T-piece for the oil pressure sender.
