A lot of people have been asking me for these, so here you all go. They are what we used. Technology has gotten way better now so its a lot easier to improve on these.

This is the gauge face printing we used it was silk screened onto the face,

This is the original face we did, I added the radius' to the comers, the sharp 90 degree angles just did not make sense. As you can tell from the note at the bottom of the page.

This the back gauge plate it supports all the gauge steppers and lighting tubes.

First page of instructions.

This a replacement to step 14, I did when I did mine. I cut out the original faces to use as support for the new face. This save you trying to epoxy stand off of inside the gauge body. Much easier for me.

Page two of the instructions.

I hope this helps someone out there.

Step 15. Is it better to use a conductive epoxy? How are the lamp tubes otherwise grounded to the back plate/gauge can?
