And as you've found, swap the tach = find a new place to put the oil pressure gauge.

Pic of mine in progress is attached. That little green printed circuit board at 6 o'clock was the front light, it's gone now. Set the guage back enough and it backlights via reflection off the steel bezel same as the other gauges.

hrm....looks very stock. I thought about just dropping it in the hole?
