Somebody had added the 2 extra holes. MII dashes only came with the 2 large holes for Speedo and tach, and 3 small holes for Fuel, temp and amp gauges. There are dashes that have vents where your 'added' gauges are that are use don cars with factory air conditioning. Also the '74-'75 dashes are different because the wiper controls are on the dash itself and not on the turn signal lever. :thumbsup

I've see some nice installs and some REALLY bad ones. A populer one is guys taking out the original gauges and installing new aftermarket ones in behind the original dash bezel. Man... when it's done, it looks really cool! Looks like a set of Auto meter or Auto gauge, etc.. were factory made for the II's dash! Lot of time and work involved, but a killer looking finished product!

i emailed one guy he does nothing but the IIS he said he had a long waiting list and i would send my dash to him and he will redo it in the bezel thanks

If it's the fella I'm thinking of (David Wilson) he does a great job and can also refinish the panels in Carbon fiber!I have the Porno Red interior in my fastback and thought the carbon fiber look would really be neat in a street racer. I like the brushed aluminum just as well, but like to be a bit different.

Down the road I'd like to retro-fit some white faced (Phantom) Autometer gauges.
