if you don't want to do any work to make them fit, you're only option is white faced stickers

another question, i have the 5" fuel gauge but want to make it a small gauge like the volts, oil press, and temp, and would like the 5" tach, how would i go about changing that? do i have to buy another printed circuit and if so how do i run the wiring for the tach to the wiring harness for the printed circuit?

These have got to be the sweetest set up I have seen yet.

You need a tach cluster to do the least amount of work if you want a tach.  You will still have to repin the plug that goes into the cluster.  There is no unplug/plug in cluster that has different instruments/lights unless you use one identical to what you have from '78 -up.
