You got that right! I totally agree about the bolt ons. I probably spent 2hrs cutting and trimming this dash insert so far to get it to fit in the dash hole.
Someday I'd love to have a model a coupe or roadster with an engine turned firewall just because. The next best thing is the stainless panels that look like quilting/knurling. I love that too!
I hear ya. The only reason I'm using these gauges is because I have them. The budget is gone to buy much more for this thing until we get our tax return. But I don't want to wait for that because warm weather may be here before that is and I've got other stuff to build too unfortunately. So I'll use these for now and get the thing running. I have been shopping for older Sun tach and SW gauges and so is everyone else.Ryan
