[DeTomaso] Gauge pack

[Dave Londry]

Yes - and a necessary one.
I bought the car after a really bad restoration.
One of the things they did was burn up ALL the electrics (maybe shorted 
the light switch)
  and melted the dash and console vertical section.
I'll give them credit for starting the replacement - I got it at the 
partially cut stage.

The upside is that there are 'almost' no English or Italian electrical 
components left.
(apologies to any fans of English/Italian electrical parts)
Painless harness - painless panel, Autometer etc.
