If the tach is still working when these gauges fail the fuse is OK.  Could 
still be a loose bullet connector in the green chain between the tee for the 
tach and the tee for the stabiliser, though.  If the ground connection for 
the stabiliser is the problem the gauges would read *high*.  If the ground 
at either of the senders is the problem it would only affect one gauge.  So 
the problem is definitely in the green 12v feed to the stabiliser, the 
stabiliser itself, of the light-green/green feed from the stabiliser to the 
first gauge.

FWIW this would have been better sent to the main MGS list rather than the 
V8 sub-division, as the electrics would be those of a 4-cylinder regardless 
of the fact it has been converted to V8.
