Looking to update the old automotive style gauges in my 212 and have some questions! Has anyone updated the VDO Gauges? Does anyone have a wiring diagram of the VDO Gauges? Will it affect the ECM or Engine by changing out this cluster(didn't know if ECM was looking for feedback, probably not on a 99 model but wanted to ask) Looking at the Faria gauge sets. I have attached a picture of gauge cluster and connector on the back. Any input is appreciated hoping to make this a quick winter project.

What did you do with the old gauges? I’m trying to keep my 2000 212 stock but my gauges are going bad and causing trouble.
Ok... so... what do I need to buy to do this other than the gauges and making the mounting plate?
Huge improvement! Nice work!
Before and After
Done! Now time to put on new graphics, change the oil and she will be lake ready!
Yea, the fiberglass floor (snap in carpet version) with the walk through is the bomb.... I couldn't do without it in my boat haha! You might find this interesting though....

Awesome..... I am going to have to copy your work for my sister's boat that I am redoing for her.
Heck yea!!! That looks awesome! How did everything wire up?
Getting Closer!
Very nice. What are you planning for the "finish" for that black piece? I am trying to figure a way I could print a graphic wrap for it somehow for you that would make it look nice with the Interceptor logo imbedded in there.

Little more progress this evening
I like the sander setup.
Had a little time to work on gauge project this morning- got plastic panel finished-now to just cut the holes for gauges. Got to get some more screws and caps to cover screw heads, my plan is to carbon fiber wrap panel. Didn't have a table top sander so I made one 🤣...hey it works great!

Installed but missing some screws
Nice Job Cory... can't wait to see it done! Any decisions on what you are going to do on the glovebox side?
What material will you use for the panel itself?
Thanks. I think the wheel and gauges going to really transform the look of interior. I hate the look of the VDO cluster.
That IS a nice wheel.
You're kidding! I would've thought twice that.
That wheel is off the hook!
Faria definitely makes some attractive gauges.
