The gauges in the picture are WM-300 Gauges Mounted in a WDX Dash which is in my Carryall.

In the original WM-300 configuration, there is a 4 gauge mask plate to mask around the gauge so you dont see the needle movement. When mounted in the WDX dash with the WDX masks, the area over the top of each gauge is not a good mask. You can see the needle movement. I masked the glass and painted a .375" wide strip on the top. Now the needle movement is hidden. You can see the painted area if you look close in the picture.

Further, the WM-300 single 4 gauge cluster is drilled to screw in each seperate gauge. When mounting wm-300 gauges in a WDX, 2 of the gauges required drilling new holes in the back plate of the gauge to line up with the mount holes in the WDX panel. I forget which 2 gauges did not line up, but its a simple drill 2 new homes on the back plate and its fixed.

So Yes, they work, but not really plug and play.
