easy gauges

is there any way of find white faced gauges that will either bolt in. (that cost less than $400) or how to put new aftermarket gauges in my dash. I only need a gas gauge, tach and speedo

Re: easy gauges

I just opened up the hole just a litte with a dremel, I used the sanding wheel that comes with them until they just slid in made them a litte tight so they wont come out. Then I took some ATV gasket stuff and sealed them in. The wiring isnt in with the factory wiring its all independent. Its very easy to do ground, light, ignition, and depends on what gague for the rest of the wires. I did take out the plasctic housing that the factory gagues push into. I am somehow not getting emails that you guys are posting back so if yuo dont hear from me PM me or email me, but I will check back often.
