That is exactly what I did and if you start now you will probably be able to find some good deals on E Bay. but that takes time.

I'm getting ready to install the Ultra lites. I also believe (could be wrong) that Monty went with the Ultra lites as well.

:iagree: :iagree: :iagree:
but don't be fooled, the outside diamiter of the case ( the part that goes through the hole) is smaller than 5" if you cut the hole 5" then the gauge will almost fall through trust me on this one I already made this mistake.
