trying to add aftermarket gauges to stock cluster

[justice87]

I'm trying to figure out how to replace my factory oil, voltage, and temp gauges with aftermarket guages in the stock location. I'm trying to go with mechanical guages. It's on a 87 and I don't even know where to start. Has anyone tried to do this yet or got any tips? I'm still a rookie at stuff like this.

I just used a dremel to widen the hole left by the stock guages and tossed in some nexus mech gauges.

Post up a pic in the morning if I can't find one on my pc

I did the same thing. I only replaced the four smaller gauges. I had to grind the plastic down and ditch the plastic cover that went over the entire dash gauge cluster area.

just took these, my digi is down so I used my cell

look at the empty slot and you can get an idea of what needs to be removed to fit new gauges
