I only have experience w/ AutoMeter - Although I do know VDO and Stewart Warner 52mm Gauges have almost the same form factor so should work the same.
sorry for the delay responding as I got sidetracked by some other contract jobs.

I did this with SPA gauges and if I could pick one of the many things I have done to NOT do, this would be it. It looks great but what a PITA. If Maxpesce can do this for a reasonable price, god bless him. Biggest problem was you could not use the SPA gauge housing so everything had to be rewired. If the AutoMeter fits as is it's 1/3 of the job.

Very little, and when using the SPA gauges, not only do you have to remove the gauge housing but you have to do some minor trimming of support pieces in the cluster. As I said, an enormous PITA.
There is a write-up, I think it might be Max Cooper's, that I followed for the SPA gauges. The beautiful thing about the SPA gauges is they are each dual purpose.
If I ever have to service them, I may sell the car instead...JK.

what is the deal with the bolts? it looks like your using them to steal power/input from off the board. to make it easier couldnt you just delete using the board and only use the wires? of course you would have to do all guages in order to delete the board. correct? or is there some other use of the board?
i pm'd you

There is not much depth inside the cluster, however there is a lot of room behind it under the dash, so I cut the back of the housing to make the gauges fit:

No IMHO it is too much work for little or no benefit. if you want to do it to get white (or other color) faced gauges just replace the faces on the stock units.
