Default Volt gauge

Anyone make volt gauge to replace battery gauge that looks and fits in factory location?

for what year car? not a C-6 I assume .

If C-1: I installed a volt gauge in my 62, but as far as I could determine, there are none available that won't require cutting the back out of the stock gauge can, as they all seem to be deeper gauges these days. otherwise, mine does look passable as stock.

I had my 60 changed to a volt gauge by Roger at http://www.corvetteinstrumentservice.com/ and it looks like it was factory. He might do it for a 64 also.

I also had him convert the tach to electric while I had everything apart.

When I had it done withing the last year the tachometer conversion ran me $290 using my tach. I could have bought one for $340 outright. If he uses your tach, he will reface it with which ever HP redline you select.
