 |
|
I have a few autometer gauges I want to fit into the EA ghia cluster, I have the AR guage in there already but I want to get the boost guage in too.
Anybody done this? Was thinking of getting autometer fuel and temp guages and mounting them on a black panel around the center digital speed display and tacho section... any thoughts on this?
This is how I have it now but not happy with it

| The instrument cluster comes appart and I just removed all the lights and plastic section from behind the car out line... it requires some plastic cutting so I used a soldering iron to melt through and cut the plastic. I made up a small section of perspex to mount the guage on |

Um, dont remember off the top of my head... I just unscrewed things until it came apart, but there is some dodgy little clip things that hold it together... they break easy too.
I'll take some pics when I have it appart again |
