I have recently installed white faced gauges and they get stuck!! the mph and rpms get stuck gike glue when driving and figit their way around...its pissing me off. I took off the glass/plastic cover to see how they would work and they move ever so freely. Please help this 1 day job is taking a loong time.

I think that problem is quite common with the aftermarket 'eBay' gauges. The face doesn't sit in enough or something, hence it contacts with the needle. Try getting the needle to sit out just that little bit more... if it doesn't work, take the face off ;)

if you fiddled around with the needles while it was open you could have screwed up the calibration. I hope you didnt remove the needles, and for future reference dont play with the needles they are sensitive
