Re: 200$ for a bezel and gauges that I bought today

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.
