Gauges are also needed for this beast. The factory Mazda gauges could have used except for the speedometer which is cable driven. Adaptors are made for cable speedometers but I have read mixed reviews and wanted to have a new aftermarket set anyway. I purchased a set of Speed Hut gauges including a new 3 3/8”speedometer, 4”tachometer, fuel, water, oil and voltage. Since I had new gauges why not a new cluster to house them? So I designed and built a new cluster to mount the tach, speedo, fuel, and water in the main housing along with warning lights and turn signals. The oil pressure and voltage gauges will be mounted in a separate enclosure in the center console, to be built soon. After lots of sanding and painting, the new cluster came out nice.
