JME gauge cluster and factory cluster

[steel1212]

I was thinking of getting the JME in the future but don't want to have to buy 2 sets of gauges. Will the guages I can put in a factory five hole cluster fit into the JME plus tach at a later date?

why ask me

when you can ask Julio Mayen hisself, aka Mr. JME. He has replied to every email I ever sent him. He let me know that he will be offering a brushed alum. interior kit for the dash and doors for 1969 -1970 mustangs next year, similar to what is offered for the 67's and 68s. That sealed the deal for me and I will be picking up a clulster and inserts once they are available.

toodle-ooo.

Yes.

Dont hold your breath on the cluster and inserts. The 69-70 cluster was supposed to be available late last year but as of last week was still not available for purchase!

Oh, I see they are reasonably priced.

Anyone know of an alternative to JME? I've been talking to a company here in Georgia (Not sure if I'm allowed to drop the name) that'll make them for you. A bit cheaper than JME and the same look from the outside. Not as pretty on the back-side though. I've seen kits but looking for a finished product.

Do you have the ability to do it your self for around $400? (I think you have a 67 as your name implies).

I'd like to think so! Do you know someone who sells a nice kit?

Haneline makes a complete cluster. You may also get the GT350R cluster from several vendors, including Cobra Automotive.

No, I mean, you buy the gauges and make the set up yourself with some fabrication.

Mmmm, ya. (Said like Lumbergh) No, that wouldn't be my best option. There's a reason why I sit behind a desk and don't make a living doing cool stuff like mustang overhauls.

Ah!

Not to steel this thread, but...

In my 67 the old dash had a voltage regulator for some of the gauges. Does anyone know if you have to install the old instrument voltage regulator for aftermarket Autometer gauges? Or do the new gauges run off straight 12v?

I believe that most of the Mustang parts suppliers have billet gauge clusters for the early models. Year One makes an instrument pod for the '69/70 that is not quite as nice as JMEs but a lot less expensive.

So Cal mentioned it above. What about Hanelin? I believe they are cheaper then JME

I took a look. I don't like the finish on the one on the webpage. I'm thinking of making my interior into the deluxe or shelby interior so am looking for a nice brushed aluminum one. It appeard that they only sell that polished aluminum.

I was thinking that I could get the parts and then use my old bezel as a training environment... Hmmm, maybe I could that.

That's what I did and a couple of others here
