          Couldn't you use those smaller gauges so there'd be more room?

Another major difficulty is the fact that the speedometer slops downward as it spans from right to left giving one less and less room to play with on the left side.
            I thought it looked like that was the case. Does Blaze's thread mention the problem at all?

              Well it would be too late know for me, but do you have something in mind?

              No. Not a word regarding that problem. This is no big deal at all to me, I am fixing everything up no problem, but I always thought it was strange that no pictures of the cluster from behind were taken by him.

                Directionals Repaired

                Some pics of the reconstruction









                Now it is time to start purchasing some gauges.

                      Yeah. And what of the other oil psi and temp gauges?

                          Ah, are you gonna put other gauges in their place? How many gauges do you have total in your Vic?

                            Right now I have underneath the ashtray a Voltmeter, a mechanical water temperature gauge, and a mechanical oil pressure gauge. In the police pod I have an air fuel ratio (light show) gauge, an amp gauge and a vacuum gauge.

                            I will be removing the amp gauge totally from the car and putting in it's place my voltmeter. I will be putting new electrical oil pressure and water temp. gauges into my speedometer and installing a replacement ash tray I have so everything is seamless again.

                            I was originally thinking of moving the voltmeter gauge to my single a pillar gauge pod but decided that I don't like the amp gauge so the volt gauge will take it's place.

                                Want me to make your gauge envy even worse? Dave actually has an envy gauge in his car, that registers the degree of envy shown by others when they see his gauges.
