- The coolest part is custom designing your own gauge set – here’s a look at what they came up with for ‘Ol Red, designed on the CON2R Instrument Builder
-
- And there she is, the completed instrument set. How cool is that?
-
- Here’s the factory instruments and bezel that will be replaced with some new hotness.
-
- Next, we removed the screws securing the bezel and factory instruments.

-
- The new CON2R gauges will pair quite nicely with factory bezel.
-
- We used a 3 1/4-inch hole saw to drill out the two side gauge pockets on the factory bezel.
-
- Here’s the factory bezel drilled out and ready for assembly.
-
- Next, we applied E6000 multi-purpose adhesive to the back side of the bezel and installed the supplied mounting hardware on the adhesive and let it set.

-
- Once set, we could install the supplied glass to protect the gauges with more E6000 adhesive.
-
- Next up we installed the gauges starting with one side and working our way to the left.
-
- We screwed down the two side gauges but don’t fully tighten just yet.
-
- There is some movement which allowed us to clock the gauges and get them straightened out..
-
- Once the two side gauges were clocked, we went through and tightened down for final assembly.
-
- Next, we went back to the center for the main cluster and did the same process as before with a snug fit then adjusted before final tightening.

-
- There she is! Man, what a cool set of custom gauges.
-
- With the bezel and instrumentation completed we could move on to wiring. When we removed the factory cluster, we made sure to mark everything out.
-
- We started the wiring process by soldering all of the LED lights together to make it a cleaner install.
-
- All wired up, nice and clean for a quality install.
-
- Here’s what we were working with before starting the wiring on the truck itself.
-
- We installed a new temp sending unit since the factory one wasn’t working before.
-
- Since our truck only had an oil dummy light but not a full gauge, we installed a T-line for the oil pressure sending unit.
-
- Once wired, we plugged the new gauge harness to the truck harness.

- With everything plugged in and double checked we could reinstall the bezel.
