Mechanical Guages
I have a 145 mph cluster, but I have been using a mechanical oil and temp pressure guage. Do anyone have any idea how I can replace the orginal electric guages in the cluster with mechanical guages or what are people doing with the orginal guages once they install a mechanical guage?

I might be able to help with this...
I had an idiot light cluster in my 83 sport coupe and installed three 1 1/2 " mechanical guages in the stock location. It took alot of grinding away of the white plastic housing and I had to cut the metal piece behind the bezel. I attatched the guages to the bezel itself and attatched it to the housing.
