this may be a stupid question, but since there aren't any of those...how exactly do you install the gauge faces? i got them yesterday in the mail and they look great. i just gotta figure out how to put them in now. any help or useful tips to get them in nice and easy?

I want a set too..
 
Count me in for a set. I am not sure if I need the 6k or 7k redline but I'll take a look at my cluster and get back to you. I will PayPal the money to you.

As far as installing them I highly recommend buying a razor blade or an X-acto knife. I used a very sharp razor blade to make the cuts on my gauges. You can't use scissors because they aren't sharp enough and they will bend up the gauge faces. I have mailed everyone a diagram so far showing how I made my cuts, but for those of you that need more info here goes....

A circle means cut a hole there. A line means cut a line from one circle to the other. Basically a line means connect the dots. For the temperature and fuel gauges, just cut from the hole straight down, all the way off the gauge. The space between the needles and the edge of the bezel is so small that you won't see the cut, so don't worry about cutting to the edge of the gauge face.

You will want to use a ruler when making your cuts to help keep the path of your knife straight. You could also use a hole punch to make the holes for the screws if you wish. If you have any more questions let me know!

Glazedham42 February-12th-2003 03:07 PM

btmdk12 February-13th-2003 12:55 AM

hey do you have any gauges faces left ?

itr0754 February-13th-2003 08:42 AM

Money for white gauge faces.
 
James, check your PayPal ... I sent you money for the gauge faces. Please drop me a line to confirm we are all set. Thanks !!

Glazedham42 February-13th-2003 10:38 AM

Yes, I still have a bunch left. I don't think i'll be running out of these for quite a while. Any of you guys that want some can send me a money order for $10.00. My address is:

Jamie Hamilton
4440 Westgate Drive
Richmond, IN
47374

Or if you are a paypal user $10.00 to evan@evanagee.com

Also, PLEASE specify which redline you want. It makes it much more confusing for me when I have to e-mail you back and ask. Thanks guys!

:D

man, i live in canada, we go by KPH and ur gauges are in MPH,i mean i dont really ever look by how much i am breakin the speed limit so , ya who cares!
u said that by changin the bulbs in the back it will change that ugly green glow? so if i put some nice blue bulbs in then that would work to make it look blue?

Glazedham42 February-15th-2003 07:42 PM

I'd say there's an 85% chance that the bulbs will shine through blue if you change them. I have these things priced so low though, I really don't see why it would matter either way. Nopi sells the same thing for ~$90 if i'm not mistaken, so either way, you're getting one heck of a deal here. I guarantee you'll never be able to find them this cheap anywhere else......

SgtRauksauff February-20th-2003 12:55 AM

money sent!!!
 
You've got Paypal! What a phenomenal deal! I'm telling a couple of friends from the ERDT forum about it, who are also swapping in some Protege guages into our 'scorts... :)

Glazedham42 March-6th-2003 10:58 AM

Sorry, Unfortunately I do not have them in km/h. I wish I would've made some for you guys when I had the chance though....

Loundarp March-6th-2003 11:03 AM
