Indiglo Gauges Installed With out cutting them!
I've read a lot on here about people installing their gauges and everyone warrning people about how they are going to break their needles and how they would have to cut them to get them on. Now the needles are fragile so that is a fiar warning but cutting through the gauges that would look like crap.
I bought mine sat down to install them and I was just like :wtf: why do people complaing that this is so hard. I just slipped mine right over the needles and walla no cuts no broken gauges. The tach i would say was the hardest to slip on but still. So I sit in wide wonder thinking about why everyone made this out to be so hard when it is really not. All I did was slid the long end of the needle into the hole in the gauge and then slip the back end up in there and that was it.
Take this as a bit of encouragement for those of you at there for those of you who thought about trying it and was scared off. Its not that hard your not going to break anything if you just take your time and understand a little physics. Use common sence and remember to use equal pressure when sliding the short end of the needle sliding it through the whole.
