Autometer gauge cluster- Gringoloco style*

After spending an eternity looking for the elusive 3 3/8" fuel level gauge for the center hole, I started exploring other options.

I found the arctic white and designer black Autometer quads to be very appealing -one problem- the tach is only offered standard in 3 1/8" and 5". Disgusted, I searched for other options, to no avail.

While searching for another part, I happened upon an ad for the arctic white tach in 3 3/8". Was this a typo? a misprint? a cruel joke? One quick call to Summit confirmed that, indeed, it was available, albeit special order.

Three weeks later, on my doorstep, I find a box full of gauges. Hooray! These things are spendy$$$

After a few weeks of backorder on the gauge bezel from GMCPauls, it finally arrived yesterday. I got to work right away cutting an old cluster to peices to fit the Autometers. This is what came from all the hard work and $$$...

Autometer also provides rubber color filters






I don't really care for the red, looks kinda pink to me. The green is cool, but a little too green, I think. The 'stock' white looks good, it makes the orange needles stand out too. Maybe some blue or white LEDs would look good.

What do you guys think? -Chris
