Default Drift Iridium Gauges

I'm getting ready to head to the garage and mount these in a 1976 gauge bezel assembly. Looks like they should fit in nice and flush. Anybody else mount these gauges?





Mock up with my stereo.

Looks Great !

Should be a straight forward install,

Have you been in the dash before ?

If not, patience is a virtue you should pursue ...

How much are these ?

Is there a match for the Speedo / Tach ?

Good Luck, Frank

Oh yeah, I've had the car 24 years--I could strip and replace the interior in my sleep I think. All except the left dash pad. And that's coming out this time.

They're about $100 each. I found them one time for sale in the US. Not anymore--I got these a year ago. But now that the car is finally coming out of the restoration shop, it's time to prep the new interior items.

They make perfectly sized tach but only a 3 1/2" speedo. So I'm leaving the speedo and tach original and just bluing the back lights.

Hi JohnJenrette,

Do you still own these DRiFT Iridium gauges, and if so, would you happen to still have the installation instructions?

Reason I ask, I have a set for my car but I have accidentally discarded the instructions and the wiring harnesses & connectors.. The company that makes the gauges in Australia appear to have ceased trading and I'm really struggling to find any other information on them

Thanks in advance
Mike

Instead of bluing the bulbs, have you considered blue LED bulbs?
