Default Hey Monty!

You probably been asked this 1,000 times but would you consider doing a gauge cluster like yours for me? if so how much? i can ship my original gauge cluster. the main reasons i like yours is because, #1 it looks great, and #2 i want a similar gauge setup/gauges, and i screwed up when cutting for the DIN sized stereo. i have a little gash that bugs the hell out of me.

Actually, I still have a few sets of panels already made. I ended up initally making around 15 sets, but had to make some more becuase Twinnie's got lost in the mail, so while making his replacement I went ahead and made a couple more.

All I need to know is what you want - what gauges (size and number) do you want for the speedo/tach and the center gauge cluster. I was charging $10 a set, including shipping.

Same gauge size as yours (they are 2" right?) 5 gauges with either 3 on top 2 on bottom or viceversa, dosent matter to me, and 2 for the speedo/tach area. both 5" i believe. pretty much exactly what you have, only no boost gauge, and 5 cluster gauges.

does this make it easier to install the autometer gauges? it seems like it would. thanks!

That's fine, I can ahve those in the mail either tomorrow or Monday. What about turn signal, hi beam, brake warning indicators?

It does make it a little easier to install the gauges, but you do have to cut out the plastic in the original bezel/housing behind the plate. I evenly space the gauges for instance, and they don't line up with the orignal holes in the bezel.

Email me your address and I'll send 'em.
