Thinking of going Haneline guage set up with their or covens dash.

Hoping to see some pics of how some of the members have set theirs up. Not using Haneline or Covens, I would still love to see how you set you 65 up.

Thanks

Sambooka,
That's just how I was gonna do mine! Well, slightly different...

I noticed you switched the tach/speedo position, why? (just curious)

Either way I like it!

Nice! how did you get them to light up red? just red bulbs?

I was planning on having Haneline make me a custom dash and then put their guages in there. they have great prices, however, the more I looked at the guages, the more I didn't like them.

How does everyone feel about autometer guages?

I think i will either have Haneline make me a custome dash so i can have them put all their holes in there that i need and use AutoMeter Ultra Light guages.

Although I can't decide if I want a silver or black dash now. I like the look of the white guages on the black dash, but all my interior is black except for the chrome on the glove box and the running board things. might be too black.

The Autometer gauges come with little condoms that you slip over the bulb. Their gauges come with one green and one red. My friend bought LED's for his, but he said he didnt like them because they dont light the gauge up as good as the bulb with the cover on.

So I assume that those are the Ultra-Light Guages? And visability and undertsnading is good even with the condom on?

Yes they are the UltraLite's. I didnt notice any change personally after adding the condom.

What size are the tach and speedo?

Tach and speedo are both 5"

What size are the smaller guages? 2-1/16 or 2-5/8?

Given the layout of the dash, you think it would be possible to fit one more guage in that row of three making it a row of four?
