Re: [Chrysler300] Fw:------RE: guages



----  Hello Chris---Just a quick [  Thanks for the info ]--I dug out  
about 5 of extra dash cluster units-and one REALLY nice one had those  
2 gauges still there--SO sometime this summer-either I----or an old  
time Chrysler mechanic friend ---will replace them--[ So Thanks again--
