That link I posted had some pics, but maybe not what you were looking for? Here's a couple electrical diagrams of the instrument cluster. One is labeled stock. It's about all I've got. Searching through the FTE threads might get what you're looking for already. I assume you already started doing this if you got the thread I posted.

If I remember right, a sunpro mechanical gauge is used with the original face glued on it. The gallery julies cool f1 has is no longer available, unless someone else saved it. All I have are the drawings without explanations.

I posted those in #19. All of the other drawings are for ignition switches, buses, power distribution, etc... I believe the E-Z wiring will have its own instructions for all of that. At least the Ron Francis kit did, which made it pretty easy to install.... provided you have 12v neg ground.

Hey Don I followed Juiles how-to step by step but it came out wrong,I guess i made the cut in the wrong side of the old housing.
I will post a pic of the cuts you need to make.
When I looked at the housing It didnt look like it matter what side of it I cut but I guess it does.
