Re: 8k tach conversion dash with options
Can you get an 8k tach lens with a vacuum gauge?

Re: 8k tach conversion dash with options
I do too. Was thinking of doing the 8k conversion but don't want to loose my vacuum gauge and don't want to cut up the lens.

Re: 8k tach conversion dash with options
Do you have a kit that just uses the 8k tach and gauge lens? . I want to use my tach cluster just replace these parts. Thanks, Rod.

Re: 8k tach conversion dash with options
If it helps, I have had this request from many of my customers and to date, I have not been able to find a 8K tach lens with vacuum.
I have considered making a custom one by using 2 lenses and incorporating the vacuum portion into the 8K lens. Thank you, Tom |

Re: 8k tach conversion dash with options
Do you have a picture of one with woodgrain that you have done? Just wondering if you have had problems with the woodgrain peeling

The cheaper woodgrain overlays you apply yourself have issues. The ones pre-done seem to last okay unless they are in a high heat area in the sun. But those typically don't fit like factory.

Re: 8k tach conversion dash with options
Here's the woodgrain options
This is the cheapest option.

Re: 8k tach conversion dash with options
I assume you use the nicest woodgrain option, I tried the stickon option with my glovebox and it's already shrinking, how is your glovebox done?

Re: 8k tach conversion dash with options
So my particular cluster is a little worn and all the "metal" is a little tarnished. The gauges look faded and the glass a little cloudy. Are you replacing these bits and pieces or are they being repainted, taken apart and cleaned? I understand that if you have to replace an entire gauge you will charge extra but if I keep the originals is that included in the 375?
Sorry for so many questions I just want to make sure whats included with the price that way theirs no confusion later. |
