Replacing the Clock with a Gauge?

segallis

I'm thinking of modifying the clock to read out Water Temperature. My idea is to use the stock display and add a circuit to drive the display segments directly. Before I open things up, I was wondering if anyone can post some close-up pictures that show the instrument cluster removed, the circuit board, etc.

Wow, if you're going this route, just buy a set off ebay they're about $75 or cheaper if you find one thats damaged.

I just recently (as in yesterday) got ahold of my Defi Advance BF gauges (oil temp, oil pressure, water temp). I'll be doing the swap sometime this week hopefully. Just working up the will to not be lazy about taking the dash apart. I'm going to try to keep the Franken-gauge functional in case I ever need to go back to stock. I'll take pics along the way, but I'm not sure if we need another DIY for this.

Removing the dash is complicated enough that you can probably add something to the knowledge base. If nothing else, you may come up with a few "don't do this" items.
