Thumbs up My 6LITEREATER gauges came out RIDICULOUSLY sweet!

Installed them last night

Unbelievably stellar craftmanship. I had Granatelli 200 mph gauges before so I didn't need to calibrate my new set.

I was surprised that they lined up easier than the Granatellis do.

Just AWESOME work!

My Wife will upload the photos pre-installation and installed later today.
I'll also load a photo of the Granatelli mounting holes to show what I mean about difference.

Thanks 6LE!!!!!!

I added photos to the original post.

I'm STILL trying to get the tachometer perfect so I haven't put it all back together yet . . . but you get the idea

I'll attach the photo of my white face 200 mph Granatelli's in a couple of minutes.

The mounting holes from the 6LE gauges are a snug, perfect fit. The Granatelli's are larger in diameter

The Granatelli's are about 3/16" in diameter larger than the screws on which they attach. If one were to install these you would have to do a LOT of guesswork and eye-balling to get them centered.

6LE's were exact diameter to the screws. I didn't even have to line anything up or make adjustments

When I put it all together I'll attach the assembled photo to the original post WITHOUT the flash (I'm not good with the camera; She is )

I'll also get a night shot with the gauges illuminated and no camera flash too.

I'm glad I decided to stay with stock lighting; LED bulbs would have been too much for my liking. The gauges give a subtle glow right now.

Glad to finally see pics!! Those turned out great! Can you take a few more pics of it in the daylight without the flash? The flash is just making the texture show up more and harder to see the gauges. Thanks!
