According to the Little Red Express owners club, this is one of two updates that are endorsed by them. The other update is a steering box brace. Here is a link to their web site-http://www.lilreddad.com/.

I also have a LRE and I am doing the same updates. I just took my dash apart and I found the footing for the amp gauge were melted. I am so glad that I checked. Does anyone know a of a volt gauge that will fit into the amp gauge area in the dash.
