I have a guy that can do it.

Excellent. I'll hit you up when I get them.

I have a cluster sitting on my shelf. I have yet to put my dash back in my car, so I'm not sure how easy it's going to be. But from looking at it, and reading the instructions (very well written IMO) it's going to be pretty damn easy to install. I'm also not very electrically savy. I'll let you guys know how it goes, lol.

I bought a cluster (assembled) from them A couple yrs ago. Quick shipping. Worked perfect.

FWIW. I thought it was fair priced.

Steve,

I have one of their gauge clusters in my car.... I integrated it exactly how I wanted, a little different than their instructions said, but it was easy.

Electronics and wiring are second nature to me so I did it my own way...

Only issue I had was the cluster sat for months and when I went to put it in the Volts guage had a dent on it. I couldn'[t remember dropping it, banging it against anything, etc... called them up and they told me the guages are double checked and photographed prior to leaving their shop. I took pictures myself and sent them in, and never heard a response back about what, if anything, they would be willing to do.

I could have very well dented the guage myself, but I was a little surprised how stedfast they were in claiming their QC to be airtight, and not willing to budge on a 50 dollar guage when I spent 500 with them...

But they will answer any questions, tech or otherwise, fairly satisfactorily.

Thank you for the input sir.

That shit looks fuckin sweet! The white gauges give it a nice race car apperance!!

It is really pretty simple to make, I made the cluster, the ac/radio plate, and the shifter delete plate out of wood (i believe it was birch), then I wrapped them with headliner material. I have got a ton of compliments on them and I think I paid $4 for the piece of wood. I just used the original gauge cluster as a template, then a router to cut out the shape and where the gauges/radio goes, then sprayed it with headliner adhesive.

How hard was the wiring part? Electronics are not my forte. But I have a buddy that is a electronics engineer if I get lost along the way!! Lol

electronics are easy. power, ground, signal, and +/- for the lights. the hardest part is keeping the wiring clean. I bought a 12 or 14 wire male/female plug that i wired the cluster with so I can remove the cluster by just unplugging one plug, which is the only way I'd suggest wiring it.

i ended up cleaning the wiring up a bit more before i installed, (zip tied and routed the wires a little better) but you can see what it basically looks like.

for indicator lights (hi beams, oil pressure, check engine, and turn signals) i got my buddy at the harley dealer to grab these for me

Damn that looks simpler than I thought! Clean install on the back, I've see some other peeps wiring that looks like a bunch of spiders tryin to have a meeting!!

You can buy individual LEDs at Radio shack. Painless Performance makes a great 6 gauge harness prewired FYI
