Some more info here, I'm not sure how important the details are to most, but I tend to be pretty detail oriented. In that vain, I wanted to pass along some info about wire choice. The Nordskog gauges I am using come with 18 AWG wire, this is the same size as the standard 18 gauge wires commonly seen, however the rubber boot is thicker. Since I wanted to stick with the same type of wire, specifically, 18 AWG, 100% tinned copper(added corrosion protection), 600v rated, style 1015. Guess what? not many places carry that stuff, BUT!, your local marine supply should. And they tend to carry all the common colors needed to complete a job without having to use the same color twice.
Just thought I'd pass that along in case anyone else is as **** as I am

not yet, that'll happen today as soon as I stop typing on the board
Still had family over last night, so I had to work between dinner and visiting and such. I'm good to go(relatives going home) for the weekend though, besides I gotta get ready for my Track debut May 13th

Ok, go now or I'll ban you so you have to go.



That guage pod looks sweet, wish I had a overhead console to put one in.

NORDSKOG guages are nice too.
