Will 99 spec gauge hoods fit on a 92/93 FD?
I have an opportunity to buy one but I'm pretty sure there are some tabs on the early FD's which are not on the later ones, will the gauge hood still be mountable in my car?

My concern would be right hand drive versus left hand drive - the hoods are different, I believe.

By the way Dale I noticed your site is still down, is it ever going to go back up? I really loved your site and I'm dying here without all the good tutorials it had on it.

Not exactly, because the gauge hood mount tabs changed in 94. So I'm not sure if the tabs from a newer gauge hood will still fit properly on my older dash. It would suck to drop $150 on a new gauge hood and find it doesn't work on my car

Really?? because 94-95 US version fits 93 fine.
RHD will NOT fit LHD. I experienced this as someone sold me a RHD version.. the tab is slightly off and the curve is slightly different. You'll see when you tried to mount it to the cluster surround.
Not sure about 99+ but my guess will be that its EXACTLY the same as older model.. But Only way to find out is to be that guy who tries it.

If he's still on here, might try
https://www.rx7club.com/australia-new-zealand-forum-43/99-parts-fishe-470493/
My memory from a couple of years ago when chasing up a replacement, RHD and LHD part numbers matched for either the textured or smooth finish.....interesting it is contradicted here and I suppose fitting is the more definitive test.

Iv'e posted 3 pictures:
1. A top view picture of a "Gauge Hood"
2. A bottom view picture of a "Gauge Hood"
3. The spot that a "Gauge Hood" mounts
If there's anyone here that still doesn't know what a "Gauge Hood" is after this post, I don't know what to tell you.....Maybe delete your account??? Also, sorry its 6 years late.
