Wish I could do this. For twins i priced it out. About 700 for gauges, 300 for new dash panel or I could paint it. Probably 200-300 new steering wheel, re paint throttles for about 100. I just cant justify 1300 bucks into a dash right now. My stuff isnt as much worn looking as it just maybe is outdated. Wish I could find some descent gauges that were cheaper than livorsi and graffig
Also, if the budget is really tight, check out

Okay...I got new senders to go with the new gauges and got a surprise when I went to install the senders. I expected to see the same color-code at the engine that is on the gauge end but found some differences. The oil pressure is obvious and I'm pretty sure the oil temp sender is the one on the remote oil-filter. I've got the mech. water pressure so it's obvious too. The problem is the water temp on the engine...I've got 2 senders on the front of my intake manifold. The front starboard sender has a light brown wire and there is one on the front port side with a brown/blue strip. Which one goes to the water temp gauge and what is the other's function? I don't have a wiring diagram so I need some help here...please and thanks. ts27

sounds like you got off pretty good and inexpensive for your dash. I just purchased every single piece to compeletely replace my dash, came up to about $5k for everything......I did not want refurbished guages and I am going for a certain look for mine. I also got the carbon fiber guages, they are bada$$!
