Thanks for the compliment. I used the gauge to monitor the temp of the 2004r overdrive I put in it for the first two months. The gauge is now gone.

Here's the trim piece you need to buy:

Here's the final product:

resurrecting an old post.

Been online to millionbuy as per the above thread but can't seem to track down this trim piece any where, presumably since the last post was seven years ago things may have changed.

Can anyone send me a link as to where I can pick up something similar these days?

Appreciate any assistance.

Here ya go bud. This is what I purchased for about 10 bucks (haven't installed yet). Still going to require some trimming but this will dress it up some.

I just looked at my invoice and remember now that I was taken back by this little trim piece costing 10 bucks but the shipping was 13.

Thanks Terry, went racing online to order.

The $35 shipping fee to Canada was like a punch to the *********. Think I'll cruise the net for a few more days before I give in and order it from there.

Appreciate the help.
