Its not too hard. Just make sure to leave some material on the backside of the ashtray for the mount holes (two posts gauges have). Then its trimming and grind a little bit of the top. Not go bad overall.

As stated - once psi is set, its "set it and forget it"

I am not talking about a oil pressure gauge or super uber vital nuclear aiming device.

Sadly, my quarter holder (ashtray) was lost with this mod. I now use my can holder (the deeper one) to hold those coins.

I the Prosport over my Autometer it replaced. Its within 1 psi. At a dyno day I had the dyno psi attached and they were almost the same. So ya, I would say - pretty good.
