What are these parts that came with Autometer Gauges?
Does anybody know what these little rubber caps are for? They came with my new Autometer Gauge set--they are a very flexible rubber or neoprene material, semi-transparent, and there seems to be about 6 green ones and 6 red ones. There is no mention of what they are in the instruction manuals. I am assuming that they either stretch over the electrical terminals after wiring to prevent short circuits, or else they may???? have something to do with the lights inside the gauges (they are the same shape as the light bulbs inside the gauges). I feel a bit dumb asking this question, but have never seen anything like them before.Old guy hot rodder

My guess is they're for the lightbulbs, but if no-one here knows, I'd shoot'em an E-mail or maybe try the FAQ @ their website http://hp.autometer.com/homepage/homepage.htmlLast edited by Smokin65; 01-22-2005 at 09:17 AM.
Never go in reverse when you can go forward.

I checked their web page, and Denny is right.--they are light bulb covers----weird. I guess there is always something new under the sun. Can you believe it---I've been building hotrods since Adam was a pup, and I never seen those things before.Old guy hot rodder
My grandfather, mom's side, drove a 39 Plymouth coupe when I was about 4 or 5 and I thought it was pretty cool and I loved the tail fins on the 49 Cadillac. I drew cars when I was in the 5th and 6th...
How did you get hooked on cars?
