GAUGES

newvintageusa.com there the woodward series. I put yellow led lights in them. But if you do this don't let them do it. Cost to much. Go to superbrightleds.com and get them for 2 or 3 dollars.

Julie has details on how she did hers using her original sheet metal. Mine is a one piece fiberglass made by fairlane which is out of business now. I did follow her lead and used a linear actuator to raise it up and dow. Works great.
