what kind of glue did you use and do you have any pics of the process itself?

Nice mod! Do you think it would fit in the the slot above that one. I've got the trans temp gauge going. Any worries about the glue not holding over time? Hows the PLX DM5 working. Mine has locked up and jumps around complete lean or rich all the time.

Hey, thanks again guys.
It is nice to have it added to the cluster.
I even forget about it sometimes.
it is still working like new.
The glue is there mostly to keep things in place while it was assembled.
everything is basically sandwiched in when you're done.
I used shoe goo (one of my favorites)
It's super tough and lasts a long time.
I do not think it would fit in the space above. At least not as nicely.
I guess the outer circle of LEDs could be partially blocked and the #s would still read clearly in the center.
I forget exactly what's behind that space? a couple indicator lights maybe.
I really wanted to get some more pics during the process, but I got too carried away and forgot.

Like I said, it wasn't too difficult, just take your time.

That mount is sick. I just ordered my plx this morning. I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to mount it like that though.
