Calibrating my gauges...

Hey guys, I just put some white faced gauges (homemade) and I had to remove my needles. I was just wondering how much it would cost to get my gauges recalibrated?? Thanks

"Re" calibrated is a bit misleading, as their calibration is so extremely poor to begin with.

If you can recall where each of them zeroed before, and how much gas you have in your tank, you can stick the cluster back into the dash, and just put the pointers back on pointed at 0 with the key on and engine off. Except of course for the gas gauge, assuming you have some in there...

That's what I did. I wrote down where the gauges were before I took the needles off. After I put the white face gauges in I put the needle back in there original places. Now only my speedo, temp, and volts gauge work. My tach and engine temp. gauges don't move at all now. Do I have to take it to the dealer to get them fixed?? Thanks for the reply.
