This morning waiting on the wife to wake up I decided to mount the Scan Gauge. Started out by removing and disassembling the bezel. Then set up the drill press as a make shift lathe/dremel to enlarge the clock whole.

Made it just the right size and the gauge actually snapped in and is very tight! I was going to have to find the C clamp that originally would hold the gauge in a bezel. I'm very happy with the results!

Nice, now get someone with a starmobile to turn on your clock display on the navigation radio and you'll have a digital clock when the radio's turned off.

that looks really good. i have one suggestion or an idea. how about painting the bezel around the gauge black to match the vents and the rest of the black on your dash.
P.S. where can i get a gauge like that?

I bought mine from Southern Hotrod.. I believe Maryland Speed has them as well. Check Aeroforces website they may have a dealer locater!!
