Alright guys, i my speedo started bouncing when i installed my TKO600 so i thought it would be cool to put in an after-market electric speedo and a new tach in the car. My idea was to use the factory cluster and existing temp, fuel, volt and oil guages and just insert some new autometer guages in the housing. Here is what i've got so far.

CLUSTER WITH HOLES CUT OUT AND JUMPER WIRES SOLDERED IN


BIGGER PICK OF JUMPER WIRES.(USED TO MAKE EVERYTHING WORK AFTER SLICING THE BOARD TO MAKE THE WHOLES LARGE ENOUGH)


FACE PLATE MACHINED FOR NEW GUAGES


READY FOR PAINT AND NEW GUAGES. STILL HAVE TO INSTALL TURN SIGNAL ARROWS FROM THE FACTORY TACH AND SPEEDO.


I think it'll look pretty cool sitting in the car.

Painting it black? That looks good. What gauges are you going to use?

yeah i'm painting it flat (maybe semi-gloss) which ever looks better and then probably some of the Ultra-lite series guages. i want them to stand out so when you look inside the car they are what you see

Here is the instrument cluster with the gauges mounted in it....apparently semi-gloss with a flash looks like hell so hopefully in person the black aluminum doesn't stand out this much. If it does i'll paint it a flat black.



The backside of the gauges

That does look good. If only you could find a flat gray to match the original gauges.
