any secrets on getting needles to stay in the same spot when swapping gauges? im re-using the plastic faces, needles, and housing from my car and just swapping in the actual electro-kinetic device thing (electric motor-type thing) so that my gauges will work correctly...any ideas peoples? thanks

Nope, take a digi pic and then use it to put them back in the same spot. No camera, make notes.

:Word: Yep, I did the note method before I had a digital camera and it worked excellently. He just has to make sure he's done power off, KOEO, and engine running notes\pictures and he's good to go.
