I figured there was something that would botch things, I can live with my old gauges though... just wish the lighting was better, but I've seen those upgrades on eBay for it before... anyone know how those work?

Speaking of finding places for new gauges... I am looking into a boost gauge and voltmeter. I think I am going to take out my ash try (since i dont smoke, or use the lighter) and try and fabricate some kind of housing that would look nice with the wood grain around it, but also with the 2 gauges (which will be 2"). Thanks for the welcome, glad to be here!
