dash gauge hole covers

[Devious56]

Ok, so I've disconnected my dash gauges (fuel and temp. gauges) and can not for the life of me find a vendor that is carrying the coveres for the holes. Can anyone help me out? Thanks much.

Just curious as to why you would want to remove the fuel and temp gauges?

Thanks again.

Maybe it's as simple as esthetics, or excessive information or, at the risk of being slammed, perhaps it's a case of "ignorance is bliss." Disclaimer - ignorance being an absence of knowledge as opposed to stupidity or many of the other prejorative terms apparently common these days. Then again, all of these may be way off the mark.

Or because there are digital gauges built into your dash computer that are far more accurate and you want to use the space for other more useful instruments

the after market covers ar better looking than the BRP ones

When you remove the analog gauges, the gas and temp gauge shows up on your led screen digitally.

When I had my 2010 RT: I'd agree with you...
But the auxiliary gauges in the 2014 (Particularly the fuel gauge.), are spot-on the money, and I trust their readings about 219%

If you disconnect the two gauges that are mount on either side of the dash, digital ones will show up on either side of center display. The digital ones are more accurate, and for me, easier to see. I will probably put a digital voltmeter on the right side, and a blank off plate or clock on the left side.

You can also pick-up 2* covers at Ace Hardware for under $5.00 for a pair.

If you want more than covers try JT's Spyder store. I installed a USB and 12v sockets in the place of gages bevels, with covers. Store is listed as a Spyderlovers vendor.

That was the first place I looked, I swear I had seen them there before. I couldn't find them listed.

At Spyder Store the Cover with a 1" hole is $33.00, YIKES! I'll make my own, I've got aluminum laying around somewhere in my shop. Thanks for waking up my lazy winter ass.

The "early" RT's with the gauges had a "wonky" gas gauge. The needle would tend to wobble up and down making it difficult to determine how much gas in the tank. The "gaugeectomy" was an early solution. The digital gauges which are built in DO work much better. All that did the guageectomy were told to do both gas and temp at the same time.

I had three gas gauges replaced on my 2010. Finally gave up. Did the gaugeectomy on the 2011 also, without any gauge repairs. The gauge on my 2014 is still just fine. No gaugeectomy needed there.

Bottom line for me. I still set the A tripmeter to zero when filling with gas. This gives me an "actual" miles traveled on the tank. I use the gauges as "informational." I usually refill when there is about 50 miles left in the tank. I don't like to run it until the refill light goes on if I don't have to.

[PinkRosePetal]

The digital gauge gives you a safe 20 miles per bar, much more convenient than guessing a needle position. For info, you only need to disconnect the left gauge to get the digital ones to pop up.

The analogue gauge connectors carry ignition switched positive and negative cables, very handy for wiring accessories - with or without gauge removal.

Have the dealer order them. They are a replacement part for the earlier base RTs that didn't have gauges. Should be only a couple of bucks each.
