n when u did ur sketch i hope the car was fully warmed up...and then when u put them back on make sure the cars fully warmed up and put them back exactly where they were..and ya good luck
Doesn't matter if it's warmed up. Where ever they are when he removes them is where they go back

No, because as soon as the key gets turned on, the guage will react to where it would go. Example, he turns the car off, the temp gauge is reading in the middle, he removes the needle and puts it back in the same place it was just as if it were never removed, the key goes on, the gauge moves to the coldest position. Understand.

i spose i get what ur sayin...i just made sure mine was same temp when i put mine on..i also took digital pictures of before to compare with after...never had a problem with mine..worked great...cept for the fact that my gauges are dark blue n dont look as good with orange needles as they would with red...i need to finda wrecked newer car n take the red needles outta that car now...
