Question about Silver Reverse Gauges convertion.
Hi, I was wondering if there a way to convert the 86-88 MAZDA RX-7 TURBO SILVER REVERSE GAUGES to make it fit on a 81 SE Rx7?

If you have an SE then its 84-85 in which case you can buy the correct silver/backlit indiglow gauges.......like these....

IF you can do that, then I am sure you could put the indiglow
gauges for a 2nd gen on the same instrument cluster.

Those gauges for 81-83 Rx-7s are pretty cool, but I dont think they work in an 82 model (not that it really matters to the thread, just adding information that someone may find usefull). The speedo only goes up to 85 MPH that year (at least that was the case with my old 82). It would be kinda funny to put them in anyways, make you feel like your going really fast!
