Conversion from nav to gauges

In process now, found a nice center dash panel and 3 gauge unit from a local source parting out a sad looking former beauty. Mounted up easily, looks like I want it to. Now to order up the wiring harness add-on I found through this forum...thank you all for this great resource.
I'll keep y'all up on the progress, though will be a couple of weeks on, have some fun travel plans in store for the near term.
Any tips, in the meantime, things to avoid or make sure I do?

While you're making the swap, I strongly recommend adding the RealGauge option. It will make those new gauges actually useful and not just decorative.
Be careful on the various plastic connectors. They are brittle by now and love to break. Also the clips holding the center panel can be sharp.
Great upgrade IMHO.

If you have any questions during the process, I am usually available by email for a quick response.

Sure. If you look on my website on the Nav to 3-gauge page and scroll down, you will see there is a 'Conversion Package 2" with a $20 discount for the combined package. I'll honor the discount at a later date if you send me a message when you are ready to buy RealGauge.

I'm happy to report that my "stage one" part of this project is complete and White XKR's kit was both easy to install and worked flawlessly first go. I love the esthetics of the change from obsolete navigation system to classic three gauge cluster.
Soon enough, as other expenditures find their places, I'll upgrade to RealGauge for both temp and oil pressure.
Thanks, Steve. Fine product, indeed.
