Brad and Rick- Wow, its been a while. Anyway, I have a couple questions for you guys. 1.) I'm interested in buying some stainless sail panels from you. How much? 2.) Brad- Definaly going to get my hands on those indiglow gauges. $50, right? Can you put "Duratec" undernieth the already existing "V6" on the tachometer? 3.) I can't find any decent how-to's on those side markers that you have on your SE Brad. Where can I find one, and what are the part numbers? 4.) How come you guys never call!  :p Just playin' Thanks, Tait

1.) I'm interested in buying some stainless sail panels from you. How much? Website is suffering and I don't have my price list with me here at work, but IIRC they're around $50 per set. I'll double check and PM it to you.
2.) Brad- Definaly going to get my hands on those indiglow gauges. $50, right? Can you put "Duratec" undernieth the already existing "V6" on the tachometer?
Only a few sets left of the SVT gauges and no more coming since Dom cut me off from wholesale. No SE ones either like we had planned. No mods available for those gauges since it would not be suitable to engineer something for only a few sets that I have left.
3.) I can't find any decent how-to's on those side markers that you have on your SE Brad. Where can I find one, and what are the part numbers?
No "how to" exists that I know of. They are "Calterm" brand dash indicator lights that I got from Jocko's auto parts store for $1.99 each. Fit the hole just about perfect. I popped the black trim ring off and used it as a lock collar around the back side along with a drop or two of super glue to hold them in place. One finally quit working after nearly two years of operation.
4.) How come you guys never call! :p To busy at work.

So would those SVT gauges work on my SE, or would I have to make some major changes? If the changes aren't too bad, I'll still take some.

Speedo would read off by 17% because it goes to 160 MPH in the same space. It also has "SVT" on the tach. Other than that, no problems... :rolleyes:

I thought there was a way to calibrate the speedometer if someone decided to change their dials. Could have sworn that someone here on CEG did it at one time.

I believe you have to change out the speedo pickup in the trans to get it recalibrated.

Other than that, no problems... :rolleyes: I'm sorry had to chime in, my SVT speedo is only off by 2-3 mph according to radar. I think I counteracted the inaccurate speedo reading by having SVT rims and tires on my SE.  Just had to throw that thought in way over here in Illinois.

Those two suggestions would be true if it were for one thing... he wasn't wanting to swap in the SVT gauges, he wanted to put the SVT indiglow overlay on top of the SE factory gauge. The SE indiglos are out, go see Cardoc.

Both my Tours are optimistic by about 5% according to my GPS receiver.
WTF is up with that? What size of tire were the speedos calibrated on? Whatever they were, they're not what I have on my SE or SVT! :rolleyes:
