All guages work with a 6v reducer inline, the rest is 12v

Nope have not touched the guages, except for one replacement (fuel) from Chuck's Trucks.
I decided to re install the original round steering wheel. Liked the look of the vise grip, but hand-over-hand with no P.S. was a challange!
How needs doors when it 80 degrees out!

Reamer,
That looks great! Do you know any details of the "6V reducer" that was used? Was it actually a voltage reducer or an inline "dropping resistor"? Part number and source would be nice, if you have it handy.
Thanks,
Kent
