Are these guages back-lit? ie can u see it in the dark?
or is it only the phantom series that glow?
and do u have all the mounting brackets or bits that came with it?
If so i may have a VDO 56mm(i think this is about 2&1/6 inches, o/dia.) boost/vac guage with mounting bracket that i could consider swapping with u. Its just black with white numbers, red needle.
the one that says TURBO and a small 'VDO' under that. numbers are to 15psi boost, 30hgcm vacuum.
il get a pic if u like?
have a think about it,
Guy

theres a light that comes on from behind it, and it kinda shines through- the digits and needle itself doesn't glow.
it doesnt have a cup, but theres some little bracket bit of steel with two nuts on the back that held it in my supra. i can get pics if you're still keen.
a pic would be great, if you're still keen

I have a 2" autometer boost gauge you can buy from me if you like, don't have a need for another boost gauge as I already have 3 spares laying around.
