so my 97 has ripped and very brittle rubber around the gauges is this the correct part and number? cuz im not sure. i have to replace the gauge pods and the metal bracket as well due to a crash i had. im just getting my parts list going here for winter and this is on the list.

Those are them. I buy them a lot to replace on old gauges.
Check your local dealer. Maybe they are a few cents more expensive buy you don't pay shipping.
and they are the same 1989-2009 so don''t let anyone say you can't get them for a 1997. Often I buy 2009 parts because they are (for some reason) usually more available even when it is the same part.

thanks adidasguy! ill check out some local shops i just wanted to make sure these were correct.

And use a non hardening glue on them ... no super glue. They dont go anywhere if they are installed right and everything else is nice and round ...
Cool.

some rtv silicon? also for the gauge pods and the bracket is there somewhere i can get it? cuz the website is like 100 dollars for that part.

They stay without any glue. If they need glue, then I've been doing it wrong.

Time for more cats.

They dont need any glue. It seals out moisture better with glue and well, you;d be wiggling and fiddling with it, its better it has something to hold it there.

I just replaced mine, the same one fits both gauges. No glue was needed for mine
