Re: Ammeter to Voltmeter Stock look options?

The next issue was the posts were different lengths and spaced differently. The rubber backing original part wouldnt slide over the posts so that needed to be dremeled out on the left and right a bit to get the part to slide over the posts. Beware that stuff stinks when drilled. It lingered around in the garage for some time. Taking it outside to do this is recommended. Then I tried taking the wiring harness and see if it would attach without altering anything and it did but wouldnt fully seat/click. I figured to try and make it easier to install by dremeling the wiring prongs and bit so they could move into the same positions indented on the rubber backing plate. It worked better that way. I also used a small wire wheel on the dremel to clean up the metal prongs. You can see how much I ground off to widen the post hole so it could align better.
