Need a little advice -

Anyone have any insight on which gauges would be a good choice to overhaul my gauges on my '84 17 Montauk? I have a new 2008 90hp Yamaha 2 Stroke that I put on this summer, and now it is time to redo the dash. Any posts and/or articles that show how this is done would be much appreciated.

My immediate questions, is behind the two black plastic panels, i am assuming i can pull off and remove the gauges. However, what about that middle section where the Black Stick On Tape is coming loose? I'd like to replace with a single piece of Teak that I would sand and varnish, but would the stearing wheel assembly go through that?

Any insight would be much appreciated. I want to redo the gauges and do it once and do it right....so I'd like to go with good gauges, not to say money isn't an object, but I have so much invested in my prize possession that I don't want to chince on the gauges.

Basically found Teleflex Lido/Premier/Sahara I like the Sahara look as the color will match the glass, but the Lido/Premier have the stainless bezel which I also think would look sharp.
