Indiana Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 If you flush mount them after enlarging the opening a little it looks better than just sliding them in from the front. If left out the clear lense hits them and might crack. You can just mount it to the back housing. Remove the gauges if you grind the bits will cause them to stick. Razor blade the circuit board and just move the strips out of the way. There's as many ways to do this as there are gauges. You can also use black felt to hide the crack from the back so that no light escapes from the rest of the gauges. Very simple with a rotary zip tool. http://www.b2600turbo.com/images/bg02.JPGhttp://www.b2600turbo.com/images/bg03.JPGhttp://www.b2600turbo.com/images/bg04.JPGhttp://www.b2600turbo.com/images/bg05.JPGhttp://www.b2600turbo.com/images/bg01.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the process of swapping my turbo gauge but the circuitry looks different on the one you've done here. Any help would be great I'm stuck as is.
