Only $40 for the ProSport water temp gauge. I guess I'll try it out.

Oh I thought you were asking about oil temp/oil press haha. That's what I have. But I think SPA has water temp/and oil press together too. But it would be much more expensive than the ProSport.

So I got my Prosport water temp gauge in and decided to make a mounting spot for it and my Zeitronix wideband above the stereo. What a pain in the ***...Thanks Eric for the material! Worked perfect.

Hey that looks good! What kit did you get that worked in the DIN slot? Does it snap in and hold pretty well?

I didn't use any kit. It's kind of hard to explain. I'll just show you next time we see each other.

OK cool. Did you just cut out one piece and have it pressed in there?

Here's the next thing I'm going to work on. I'm going to change my stock gauges to look like this.

There's somewhat of a write-up on norotors.com. I'm planning to purchase the gauges after my trip to Norway next month.

So you can purchase that gauge cluster pre-made, ready to install? If that's the case I really want one, link me please!

^When Frank showed me about those gauges the other day, he was showing me the write-ups about people buying the gauges separate and putting them into the stock cluster. From what it looked like you don't have to cut up the back of the cluster or anything, but I think you just wouldn't put the clear plastic piece back in. I want to do the tach, speedo and fuel gauges from Speedhut and then put my SPA gauges into the cluster, if I can get them to work right haha. I love this cluster though. You can get them custom too.
