what at type of housing are you mounting the gauges in?
Here is a quick diagram of how to wire it. I "borrowed" parts of it from the web.
Connect terminal 30 to the 24v hot terminal in the fuse box.
Connect terminal 86 to one of the 12v switched terminals in the fuse box
Connect terminal 85 to ground
Connect terminal 87 to your gauges

The voltmeter 24v wire is hot all the time. It is the ground wire that is switched with the relay.
That is why when you remove the dash panel you should disconnect the batteries or remove the 24v fuse.
No 24v switched sources in the fusebox. Only continuous. He should be able to use one of the switched 12v to run a relay for the 24v

They will not be direct replacements. Those are 24v units. You will have to get the correct sending units (if they exist. I have no idea. You may be able to adapt something).
Connectors are available from various vendors. Erik's is a good one.
