    Blown76mav,

    Did you just do away with the gauge cluster wiring and such when you retro fit those gauges? I like the way they look but need to be able to pass inspection for turn indicator lights, high beam indicator, etc. Brake warning idiot light would probably be a good idea also. :cool:

    I could probably dummy up something that would work but if someone else has already invented that wheel.....

    "My turn siginals still work without the ones on the dash. Do they check the dash lights in a inspection?"

    Depends on which "Peace Officer" you get and whether he went to sleep frustrated the night before......:cool:

    :bananaman dennis, the guages are from dakota digital. i had them made for the cluster. they mounted to the back like they were made for them :D :D . they have the oil, temp. volt, speedo, turn indicator, high beam, tach. and the trans. slector.( p r n d 2 1 ) all the readings have limits. if they go out of the setting they turn from green to red. the set scared the hell out of a $700 bill.
    they were for a dream 71' i had but now they are going into my 73' daydream...frank...:bananaman :bananaman L.T.N.G.

    That really looks sharp. Custom stuff will always be expensive but when the end result looks like that, its worth every dollar.
