Contact Dakota Digital custom shop. I have no rights to this design, maybe I should try to get some, anyway, send them the pic I attached above of the design, or tell them you want the McKittrick design. They probably have it labeled that way.

This is my autometer c2 setup. Only thing I Dont like is it is really bright at night, almost blinding.

How is everyone working the VSS on these gauges?


87 Monte,TPI conversion eng/trans from an 89 IROC had a paxton on it, its for sale! LS1 brakes and 9" rear finished, 3.56 with a locker to be tested. Been sitting since I graduated in 04 on the verge of resurrection. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3192829

Can't remember if I posted this here before. I still need to clean up that pillar wiring.

I also have a volt gauge and a fuel pressure gauge mounted under the radio.

Anyone done a complete custom fiberglass dash? I've watched some of the car shows doing speaker boxes, dashes etc and I think I'm going to build one from scratch. Modifying the dash using stock gauges but adding newer indicators for turn signal, high beam, CEL, etc. new headlight switch from a caddy deville, dual DIN radio, Also a custom center console since I've installed a T56, put the window lock and power windows switch in the center console. And convert the mirrors to power mirrors while I'm at it...

Sir, what size are those 4 middle gauges there? I found a gauge kit that has all 6. I know the tach and speedo will fit, but those middles ones; are they 2-1/16th inch? Or are they smaller than that?

The 4 center gauges in the cluster are 1.5”. Not many options available.
