Dolphin gages
Installing my dash insert with Dolphin gages in the 68 in next few days. Has anyone used them? If so any problems during install?
May your sails stay full, and your knots not slip. Unless a slip knot.

Guess I am the only one that has used this set up.

Re: Dolphin gages
Good day Mancar1,
I would have replied to this thread (or your other thread about wiring), yet my configuration's a little different. Still, we're among the semi-few members who have completely replaced their instrument clusters. Maybe skimming through my old thread on this topic would be amusing to you, at least: Could I ask for advice on attaching my Teleflex/V3 gauges?
I'd be curious to see some photos of your dash, and your custom wiring, if you feel like posting some.
Have a great weekend,
Robroy

Re: Dolphin gages
I was able to do it, and I can barely spell electricity. Had to track down a few shorts during the install, but I think it turned out good.

Re: Dolphin gages
I had to put in the new sender that was sent with the gauges for the new gas gauge. It "worked" with the old sender, it just wasn't accurate.

Looks amazing by any chance did you take any pictures of the whole install process?

Re: Dolphin gages
as a folow up to this. what all was entailed with the wiring change? did you have to buy a lot of secondary guage wire, etc. to pull of the switch from a stock unit.

I had to run a couple new wires from the ignition switch. Nothing major. Like I said, I don't know much of anything about electricity. Should have paid attention more in school.
