I bought a decal for the face with the voltmeter numbers on it, off this site a year or so ago. I had the printer guy who does the speedo faces make me some more. Then you wire the gauge with an ignition wire on one terminal and it grounds through the metal backing plate it's bolted to. You can see how it's wired in the pic above of the back of my speedo cluster.

Are the voltmeter decals available? I want to add this mod to my dash conversion.
