I will post some pics in my build thread when I go to mock it up. I plan to have someone else do the final welding though.

Check your local laws.  Red turn signals are illegal on the front in North America.  Must be clear or yellow.

                                                      That's interesting Keith, because when I had my gauges worked on, Anaheim Speedometer told me they were easy , as they were all done with VDO components. They also added that they had worked on a number of sets of the Nippon EMPI gauges and found all of them to be constructed with VDO components.

Maybe Darrell didn't like EMPI stuff – perhaps he was more of a Racetrim guy Grin Grin Grin Grin

All I can assume is that, him being a racer and all, he wasn't into the 'gauge package' deals. But that's what he told me, anyway. It's almost certainly on 'tape' as I recorded the conversation! Wink
