Hi To All,
Don't know if this topic has been covered before, but my '73 Convertible never came with any centre gauges from factory, and of course, i've got the stock idiot light setup as well. After doing a fair amount of research over the recent months, on trying to install a tach and centre gauge setup for my car, i decided to settle for a Rocketman Tach, and aftermarket gauges plus a new centre dash bezel, instead of going down the path of trying to buy original Mustang gauges, wiring etc, etc.
To the purists, i know that is not original, but money and difficulty have forced me to take the aftermarket approach.
I'm on the brink of starting the install soon. So far, i've got the Rocketman Tach, and three Autometer Gauges (2 1/16 Designer Black gauges for volt, oil pressure, and water temp). I've yet to buy a new centre gauge bezel from Don at Ohio Mustang. I,ve also bought a set of original '72 Ford centre gauges with the plastic backup housing off Ebay, thinking i might be able to make use and incorporate the original backup with my new Autometer gauges in some way.
So my question is, can anybody give me help or advice on the best way of setting up these three new centre gauges into the new dash bezel panel so they will look good and sit firmly in
position.I'll sort out the wiring setups down the track of these gauges. Any sound help and feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks, Greg
