I'm sure it'll be close enough.

I doubt an 1/8" is going to make it explode.

A 1/2" on the other hand...

How well can you cut with your tool of choice?

Dremel in a vice at low speeds? Pretty well. Its just gonna be a straight line and ill spin the spacer not the dremel.

I'd suggest chucking the spacer up in a lathe and turning it down the the proper height.

Perfection to the nearest .0001.

I'm changing the cluster out on a 97 xj from the idiot light style to the full guage style. Is there anything sensor wise that needs to be changed?

It's a 97 so 97 2001. What do you guys think I should expect to pay? I'm doing this work for someone this isn't for my jeep. I've never had to buy a cluster yet
