thanks for that link for the mustang stuff. me and my buddy own a 1984 rs turbo capri. we fully built the motor and gonna be running close to 25 pounds of boost.
we have been trying to find gauge holders for the 84 platform but jegs summit mustangunlimted and year one seems to have all that stuff for 87 and up or older. you have no idea how that made my day.

If anyone figures out how to swap in a new MX-5 gauge cluster, I'd be all over it.
