    Gauges were big $$$, everything else was minor. LED's were ~ $20.00, shift light and controller was traded for, mounting plate for the gauges was nothing, made it from the scrap bin. The lettering, well, let's just say it's nice to have a vinyl printer/cutter in the spare room!

    I *think* it is, I know the RPM switch for it is a #8950. IIRC, the light's 5/8" OD x 4" long.
