    Question Need Gauge Info quickly

    When yall took your gauge clusters apart to put the custom gauge faces on. How did you get the custom faces on without removing the needles. If you did remove the needles how did you?

    The RPM and Speedo needles pull right off, the gas and temp don't, I just cut a line in the gauge and fed the stem of the needle through it. If you get the cut out to lay flush you can't really see the cut.

    cool.. thanx Hostile.

    My gauges stick up a little and wont lay flush. I was thinking of some super glue in certain spots.

    what did you do?

    Super glue the entire think down. I just glue it down in a few spots and the paper got moisture in it or something but the wrinkled and look like shit.

    Well guyz. Mission was a faliure. I managed to screw up my needle calibration. Check out the pic.



    I think it will look good without them tho cuz the black compliments the silver bezel.

    Well at least you didn't paint the needles like I did. That was a bitch to fix.
