It would take some time but you could always buy some wire and spade connectors and make up your own harness that would allow you to take it loose when ever you needed to. Put the cluster together and install the pig tails and have all the gauges with male connections on both wires. Then make a daisy chain harness with the female connectors and correct length of wire for each gauge.

If your going to use the factory plug in to the cluster cut the dash light wire a few inches away from the connector and put a pigtail off it as well. Then if you ever go back to factory gauges you still have the connector in place.

The ground wires for the lights can all be ran together and grounded to the dash, just make a long enough wire to do this.

I'm going to order these just so I will have them.
