I would agree, hard to get depth in vinyl.

This is with paint and redone gauges.

Wildman...That is really a SWEEEEEEEEET looking dash! I hope mine ends up looking half that good. I got my missing bezel for my DF yesterday so now I'm ready for the install. I hope I don't f**k it up during install.

Thanks,

Its amazing what some paint and new bezels will do, definitely worth it. I did add a GPS speedo at the same time.

Wildman...I've got 2 holes in my new dash that the old one didn't have. One on either side of my speedo and tach. I noticed you have a couple of indicator lights between your "tachs" and speedo. What are your lights for? I'm thinking if I can't find something useful to fill the holes I'll just put a dummy light in them.

You can wire in some LED warning lights so that if your high water temp or low oil psi,etc switches get tripped(IE warning buzzer goes off) the red led will light up letting you know there is a problem

Does anyone know where you can find these gauges? gaffrig has discontuined them, I think I have a faulty oil pressure gauge. The needle jumps from 80 to 60 to 20 to 40 to 60, 40, 20, 0 then alarms! Only at idle, only on the water. I'm going to shoot a video of this when I go out again.

If you look in the bottom of the gauge and it states "gaffrig by Livorsi", you may be able to get Livorsi to repair. Just got all of my gaffrig gauges reworked by Livorsi. Livorsi is great to work with.
