You need the inverter, which part did you cut? are the screws real far off? Did you get the 94-97 accord gauges?

the inverter has resisters and such inside that are pretty important.

the screws were maybe half a screw off on both sides of the needle on all of the faces except the spedo and all i did was make a notch on the side of the screw hole to "fit" the screws in and yes i have the 94-97 gauges

those shits were pretty tedious to install and take out... but all you had to do was mess with it for a bit and it fit.. at least mine did
