well ... sence this is pomofo this may come in handy, cuz shawn and i are some po ghetto mofo's. we found out the hard way, while installing the cluster in shawn's nova, that the insulation on the + side of the ammeter (or what ever) is just a titty bit too small. one wire toasted, a lot of smoke, and a call to stewart later we though ... what now?

1.) scour the garage
2.) find an old radiator hose
3.) cut off a chunk, any size any shape. (the more ghetto the better)
4.) poke a hole in it
5.) try and force the chunk onto the + stud for about 5 mins
6.) make hole bigger (once again, the more ragged the better)
7.) cram the "insulator" on the stud and force all the way down
8.) put the + wire back on
9.) bolt everything up
10.) test

enjoy =)

P.S.- on step #3, be sure you cut off the chunk of radiator hose with some wire cutters, or dykes, just couse. :D
