Hi Wayne,

As funny as it may seem (or not funny) you may want to add ground straps on the clusters I built for you. Just to be on the safe side. It seems to be about 50/50 as if the temp gauge will work correctly with out it.

I am also trying to locate the correct push on retainers that the factory used. It would look much better than the ground strap but in a pinch the strap works well and does its job.

Hope all is well in TX and thank you for your contributions to this issue.

Take care,
Tom
