Re: 1950? S-10 tdi

Well after much thinking on how to make the original gauges work with this motor, I could not justify the cost to fix them so they would work for me.
So this is not my idea but executed it my way. Turned out way better than I was hoping.
Problems with stock was: oil pressure gauge to low, Amp meter, temp gauge did not work.
First they are 2" gauges
Pry off the trim ring
Take new gauge guts out
Grind off lip on housing fuel gauge is done in second pic.
Use 2" hole saw
Align gauge housings and tack weld in.
Reassemble gauge guts
