Along with my FI454 I'm gonna do an updated Gage Cluster.
Like This one Greg72 did:

I hope you don't mind me stealing your pic Greg? /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif

Anyway I am in the process of installing the gages like Greg did and I started wondering if anyone has ever replaced the Speedo and or Fuel gage.
If so part #s? Pics? Info?
The stock ones I have will work they are just faded and I'm thinking(ouch) of replacing them..... /forums/images/graemlins/ears.gif
 
I plan to do the same thing:

Big autometer speedo and tachometer in place of the fuel and speedo.

Then add a smaller fuel gauage.
 
Hey that looks good /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
I have a tach mounted in the center hole already.
I think I'm gonna wait on thoes two gages for now...I don't have any $$ left anyway /forums/images/graemlins/pimp1.gif
Thanks for the pic!

I'm going to keep the factory one for now. It still works and I like the tach in the center. The biggest fuel gage AutoMeter has is still under 3", 2 5/8 or whatever it was..

Burt, I think you have seen the gauge setup I will be using in my K20, but if not, here it is. Course, if the K20 never comes back from the body shop, this will make a fine paper weight /forums/images/graemlins/doah.gif

Two types

Now just finding a local place to buy them so I don't have to wait or pay shipping......

I'm going to Home Depot at lunch to see if they have someting I can fab up....???????
 
I would hit your local Radio Shack. They should have something you can use for that under the dash connection.
