    The attachment shows the gauges, pretty much the same as other have done. Wish I could have found a four hole bezel.

    Here's a picture from the Gallery.

    Got my pressure washer out and ready to blast away all the grease and grime from the front end. And I looked at her as I got in my car and drove to work.

    I asked Frank Cooper for help in ordering my coil over springs/shocks based on his Rod & Custom setup (that we know works very well - miles tested as of late)

    Actually I just wanted in on a small piece of that "A Large Time Was Had By All"

    I feel better now :drool:

    Don't know about Sunpro gauges. Main thing I was after was electric gauges, not mechanical. Did not want to pipe coolant and oil into the cabin.

    Since the gauges are down low, I wasn't concerned about dimming the lights at night. All the lights are powered from the switched 12V. Made it easy to just attach the light leads to the hot and ground terminals on each gauge. Made for fewer connections to the gauges and its easier to read the gauges in the day time when head lights are not on.

    Also ran jumpers between power and ground terminals on the gauges so a single hot wire and ground wire leaves the cluster. Used blade connectors on the single hot and ground wires so the cluster is removable with all blade connections.

    I like Auto Meter electric. Used both mechanical and electric with sending units, very dependable and nice looking.

    Assembled my Parker Push Lok fuel hose for the fuel cell. Froze the fittings, boiled the hose and oiled the barbs. Got the fittings on but smashed my finger.
