I like gauges too. My rig has "Autometer" 2 5/8's mechanical liquid filled gauges.

do you guys have an after market fuel gauge?
I was thinking about some kind of sexy gauge change but it was going to be too much hassle to match the fuel gauge to the sending unit. Most of the after market fuel gauges are for rice burner sending units, that narrowed the field a lot.

I had a trick fuel gauge in my old CJ2A, a yard stick. 
I was going to try "Autometer" to match my other gauges.
I've seen them in other Jeeps.

I run an autometer aftermarket fuel gauge to match my other gauges. You just have to match the gauge to the sending unit.
Auto Meter gauge search

Thanks Wilurb63, and OI for the info on the rectagular dash indicator lights. I agree those rectagular lights are not necessary and is one more set of things to quit working on me, but I need them to fill those rectangular holes, since I have a new dash with those pre-cut.  The picture near the beginning of this thread shows my old dash and new dash. |

Now I see the plan
I replaced a set of those about 15 years ago when the only ones available were about $10 each, that hurt. for 30$ a set you can fill up the holes almost as easy as useing duct tape.
