Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

Cluster gauge a little more involved.

These are Bosch gauges, formerly SunPro. Not the greatest quality but I didn't want to break the bank in my first attempt at this.

Kept original dash lighting as well as new gauge lighting. Don't know yet which combo will work best. Will try to make a harness to simplify number of wires on the back side as well as for ease of connecting and disconnecting when necessary.

Backplate which gauges mount to stands off original cluster housing to keep gauges away from cluster face.

Not a fan of how the face turned out. Had a sign place make up the faces and they followed my instructions. Numbers aline with needles (90 deg range) but the arc radius is wrong compared to the gauge face. Plus numbers need to be farther out. Have to redo this. If this is all I have to redo I'll be quite happy.
