Thankfully I'm a woman and so I have very good persuasion skills. :naug

Gauges had a Pro-Tech name on them. They are sold with the MP sets here, http://www.mpproductsstore.com/instrument-bezels-and-gauges.html , with the MP logo now. You are correct on the sizes. I was real pleased with them. This was one of the first few sets the company sold. I had to wait for them to get the gauges in like I wanted. They have it all now.

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking about upgrading my instrument panel on my 71 F100, but I just need a set of gauges, not the entire panel. I can't seem to find the Pro-Tech line of gauges online. I guess the gauges are made by a different company that stamps Pro-Tech (now MP) on the gauge face. I'll have to do some more digging.

Contact the seller at MP. He was real workable when I dealt with him. Might sell you a deal.

And the woman always calls that place our mind goes to "the gutter" when in fact, they are there with us in our thoughts.......sometimes before we arrive.

Don't forget to clock yer tach so that max RPM is straight up. Makes it easier to keep track of when you're running WFO :ecit

That's pretty cool. Any more pics? maybe a tutorial?

It's just lots of cutting with a Dremel. I got a new bezel and filled the outer part with Bondo and cut the inside to show the gauges. I put 1/4 hobby board as divider and glue them in. Finished it off with clear plexi with boarder painted. I made everything work on the gauge (Engine check light, brake, oil pressure light, high beam...). The only bad part is I only can see half of the turn signal from where I seat.
