Hey man, I'm in New Glasgow and if you ever get those guages in and working, I wouldn't mind coming to have a look at them.

The first place I went to said they wouldn't warranty work on the mazda gauges. not thinking i said okay and when i got my car back the temp gauge was broken the tach would move verrry slow and stay wherever it wanted to. I had to have my mechanic get a used cluster switch out the ones that worked (electical speedo, and fuel) and do it very carefully and recalibrate the easy way, 25mph at 3000rpm. total cost for white face gauges to be in my car 100gauge covers, 100 for cluster, 300 in labor ( being very generous). But they look great.

best thing is to go to a junkyard, the mechanics who put mine in for me broke one too. He said that he couldnt get the needle out so he just used the guage cluster from a an old mx3 that was for parts.
