Default Dash Gauges - 6 to 12 volt conversion

Ross,
It's your system but before you go ahead please consider the following: To be able to use your original dash gauges with a new 12 volt system you will need to install a voltage reducer such as a Runtz tranistorized voltage reducer on each electrical dash gauge except the Amp gauge. A Voltage gauge simply needs to be "tweaked" to work in a 12 volt system. Using these will provide you with accurate gauge readings as well as prevent them from being damaged from excessive amperage or inaccurate voltage.

Regards,
Jim
