Speedhut Gauge Install: How to (DIY)

Just received my shipping notification for my set that’s been on order for a month now. Can’t wait to finally get started on this. Went with the black face gauges, GPS speedo, and a custom 4 1/2” tachometer with a red face and Rx7 logo. Not sure if I am going to keep the factory board or not yet. My OEM tach was temperamental and the tach never worked properly. Really nervous about how I am going to wire it. Hopefully it is easy as you say.

Awesome can’t wait to see how yours turn out. I think the red tach will really look good once installed. Have you decided whether or not you are going to keep the OEM board yet?

Thanks,.. i like it. The only thing is if you got 4 in speed be really careful cutting the plastic cluster piece to fit the gauge or you will break it. It doesnt fit that easy. The actual black plactic speedo gauge hole is 3.8 in after cutting it open. I need to mess with it a little more..
Use realy sharp tools and slow, dont cut yourself.. lol
Esser, you did a great job , man.

And yes it is a tight fit, but once you get it in there it holds it damn tight!

I am just now diving into everything. Not sure how I am going to get the speedhut facia’s to sit in the back of FD bezel without cutting some of the FD bezel backing.

A side note.... I ordered mine with the Revolution Black bezels. The legacy bezels are thinner and not as bulky. If I would of known this from the get go that is what I would of gone with. I am running into an issue in between the Tach and Speedo. The bezels are so bulky the OEM bezel is going to be a tight fit.

Done! Took quite a bit of sanding and trimming but they fit like a glove. I don’t really recommend doing this. If I could of gotten away with doing it the original way in the thread I definitely would of.
