The cost is pretty much the same as the last one. To start from scratch it would go for about $60-$70 depending on how much you spend on the gauge itself. I re-used everything I had from the first attempt except for a new piece of stainless sheet metal which was about $5.00, and I picked up the stainless steel piece i used for the bracket from the remnants box at a metal supply house for $1.50. I polished that piece since it was raw, so I had to buy some polish, but I found this DICO assortment kit that had 4 polishes for aluminum, stainless, gold, and plastic, for around $9.00. I have a lot left over for little jobs, the stuff works great for stainless, and I was able to remove some of the micro scratches from the chrome as well. It also works great on the ends of the engine fins, but as you can see from the pictures I am still working on those. I don't think the previous owner ever cleaned them.
All in all the biggest costs are the gauge depending on quality and where you purchase it, and the steel braided line. I think that was about $25. The original parts list is in the original thread.
