Gauge cluster

[dlmrun2002]

Looking for a 72 or 73 Gauge cluster. Don't need gauges. Just the housing and face plate. Wanna swap out my 74 gauge housing. Thanks

Don't forget to get the '72/3 bezels & locking rings too(the '74-6 fake wood face plate had these items molded in one piece).

Oops. That won't work either. If you simply mount your crosshair instruments in a '72/3 housing, you'll end up with a small hole in the facia that will emit light thru it(brake test button I think).

The way I did it was to Remove the fake wood. Used the '72/3 locking rings/glass and bezels. Then mounted the crosshair instruments into the housing.

Got rid of the Fake Wood, got a Black facia, Crosshair instruments & No little white dot of light emitting when the instrument lights are on.

Worked for me..................(see pic).

mac.

This from a guy with a '72 & '73 Tii. What do I know. .

Good advice. I am actually thinking white face plates with red lights. I already have covered my 74 fake wood with real maple burl wood veneer. I think I want more of a tech look(black vs wood).

i think the burl veneer look would look better if you are able to carry it through to the vertical section of the dash as well. how you'd do that and ensure it didn't look like veneer glued to the dash is the trick...

i guess, simplicity is the true design genius of these little cars.
