$200 for the gauges? Did you get any sending units with them? If not you'll be paying a premium for them.

And that gauge bezel won't be easy to read when installed.

The bezel is pretty rough, but the price seems good for the gauges if they are complete. Too bad the tach doesn't match. Either way, if you are happy..that's all that matters.

If the gauges are worth $200 then cool. I was just commenting on the worthless bezel.

That tach is about $150 new by itself and I know those speedos aren't cheap, even without the senders/etc. Sure, it's going to take some other parts to get them going, but not bad at all. The senders for the water/volt/oil/fuel gauges are pretty standard stuff, no need to get the expensive Autometer branded ones for those. The only one that I would even question is the speedometer sender/parts since those are fairly specialized. Good score!

Tach matches fine, it's the speedo that's the oddball. LOL!

And by the way, several people I know run two volt meters. Car audio nuts do it all the time when they run two (or more) batteries with an isolater between the two systems. One battery runs the vehicle, and the others will run the audio system and the two gauges lets you see voltage on both batteries.

looks like a deal,I'd use that bezel to setup before cutting into your own.
work out the wiring ,less damage or scratches fitting in/out
dual volt meters, prob for dual batts, some do dual gas gauges for dual tanks.
guess you have a spare now....
