Default C2 Dash Cluster Recommendation

Looking to redo the cluster on my '66. Has anyone used the company named "Autoinstruments" in Martinsville VA? All gauges are working, it's just the odometer that needs fixed. However, while the cluster is out, I'd like to get it refurbished......

Thanks...

Never heard of them but Bill Harrison out of Florida is who I use.

2024 C2 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Default Cluster Restoration

In the past year, I've sent a cluster to Bill Harrison, and another cluster to Corvette Specialties of Maryland -West (actually located in California). They both are great to work with and truly care about doing you a great job. They are both priced within $50 of each other. I sent gauges only and redid the housing myself. They were both 63 clusters. I liked the pointer colors better from Corvette Specialties, but liked the restoration of the center of the gauge brushed stainless better from Bill. You can't go wrong with either. Your other firm may be great, but I'd stick with a known restorer.

Good Luck!

After a long argument with myself, I decided on electric gauges. Take a look:
