All originals were satin black on the inside.

If you don’t want to take the dash apart, you can just leave that meter in there. It’s not hurting anything, just a place holder. It is nice to have working gauges though.

I thought that the diode type cutouts would be the best way to go. I can't remember where I bought this one (it must have been six years ago) but it has only been used approximately two plus hours and now it is N/G!

Should I buy a new diode and replace the one that is bad??? Amazon sells one for $6 plus shipping.

If I buy a new unit it will cost me $60 or more!

I have trust issues with the old style cutouts.
