Guage Install- Help.

OK, i got my new Grey Guages today... I got the Voltage/Oil & Temp/Gas guages installed with no problems. Now, how do you get the Tach and Speedo guages in place?? Is there some sort of trick to it? Thanks all- Rotary-Rex

Slide the center hole over the needle, it will go straight on over the center thing.

for the speedo, you have to get it as far in as you can, and then do some contortionism to get it over the trip counter reset thingie.

Good luck, you'll be happy when its done.

You can use a screwdriver (small flat head) and pry the needles off as they are press fitted. Just don't go balistic on the needle, be gentle and work it off the shaft (a little bit on each side)


Oh man, did that sound sexual.
