So I made the mistake of not paying attention on the orientation of the needle before removing them, all the gauge needles for the entire cluster, i.e., Speedo, RPM, Fuel, Oil Pressure, Temp & Voltage were removed & replace.
I snapped the new retro-fitted needles (self-made) without worrying about the orientation but now I don't know if the readings are correct.
Current readings at idle, Speedometer - 4 MPH, Fuel - Past Full, Voltage - 16, Oil Pressure - 60, Temp - 100, RPM 300-400.
Anyone know how to set them up? I thought about having the ignition switch to the on position (2 clicks) & set all the needles at 0, except for the fuel & Voltage.
The fuel gauge previously did not give the correct reading because of a faulty sending unit that needs to be replace, so I guess I will have to address that one later, but once fixed I would imagine filling up the tank & set the needle at full.
The voltage I thought about doing the same, turn the key and check the voltage at the amp? with volt meter then set the needle at that number?
Thanks in advance.
