i've had this problem before. I trimmed around the hole of the new gauges. BECAREFUL when you're fitting them in though and make sure you don't mess up the alignment of the needles, because otherwise their calibration will be off and you're gonna have to buy a new gauge cluster.

I managed to fit my glow gagues around the needle. It was a tight fit and took some working...but it fit. Now, I wouldn't remove the needles because it could mess the gaues up. Just my opinion.

so i can trim around the hole and cut the gauge without hurtin anything? every needle goes back to the bottom when u move it except for the gas needle. i moved mine but put it back close enuff. just movin them around wont mess them up will it? also how did u get the temp and gas gauge on since there are two needles there?
thanks
