5" Autometer question

I scored an Autometer 5889 speedo, and am wondering how to install it in place of my factory speedo? Just hack up the cluster and drill a few holes?

$73 shipped!

Why would u drill holes ??? if the one u have is 5" it should fit.

When you see fog lights on in good weather beware. Low performance driver ahead.

How bout those nitwits too scared to drive without headlights in the daytime, and the nitwits that need headlights for a little rain

No I did! The turn signal won't let the gauge just drop in though so should U cut it down?
