Need to fill in gauge area on lift of cluster?
I have a nice rebuilt gauge cluster with factory tach for my 65' chevy, but i want to fill in the left side thats empty. Ive been searching for a while for something i could put there that would look clean and factory.
Considering it has a diesel, id like to somehow incorporate a Boost gauge or Pyrometer. And if i strike out there, something that could monitor the air pressure for my bag system. Anyone with ideas or references for someone that could build a custom gauge let me know. |

Re: Need to fill in gauge area on lift of cluster?
i thought about that, problem is theyr hard to find! when you do find one, they want crazy money for it, and it only goes up to 150 psi.
but if i find one i'll use it! I've searched aircraft gauges, large truck gauges, and vintage gauges trying to find pyro or boost that i can make look factory, no dice so far. HELP |

Compressors make 200psi. A boost gauge would be cool too, keep in mind for you ideas. I know there was a factory VAC gauge, i dont know if i could find one of those and convert it to boost.

I got mine off eBay years ago. I see them on there every once in a while, usually rebuilt with different options, like tach and clock and such. Mine came with a chromed bezel.

I'm still trying to find a clock that would fit on the left side. I've seen a few. I guess it will have to be a swap meet find.
