No affiliation. I believe the seller posts on Renny.

I was getting excited until I read the gauges were not included.

I missed that. I was just about to edit my orig. post that the thing would be worth it for the gauges alone.

If for a track car (as I imagine it has to be), the pertinent gauges are not in a good line of sight, and if not (at least) angled toward the operator light reflection could be an issue. Looks rugged though.

The switches don't look bad, not as nice as Paul C and Han's offerings but still better then stock

Not to hawk that console, but I have used these angle rings before...

Diverging for just a moment, but I think the stock switches look just fine. Nicole's vinyl decals really freshen up the look back to original.

Oh I have nothing against the look of the originals, just tired of the damn things not working properly. Of course that may be in part due to the fact every time I change one thats wore out its for another used one, rather then ponieing up for brand new ones. And agreed on Nicole's stickers I use them as we'll, they look Great!

MJ,
I've done the surgery on it and it works well. The link I learned it from allowed me to become familiar with the innards of the switch and some finagling (?) with the tension on things in the unit has kept them well for the last 5 years. Have a look.
