Re: Reproduction Gauge Cluster vs. Re-manufactured Gauge Cluster

I prefer remanufactured the reproduction gauge needles and the lens font are not the same. Close but not the same.

My mom always had the best advice. It was just a tad late. After a fall that involved blood, she'd say....."Careful!"

Re: Reproduction Gauge Cluster vs. Re-manufactured Gauge Cluster

I think I accidentally voted wrong. Remanufatured, there is something about keeping as much history on the road as possible. I tell my hippie neighbors my truck is a recycling project.

Re: Reproduction Gauge Cluster vs. Re-manufactured Gauge Cluster

I like the thrill of the hunt and the process of redoing something.

Re: Reproduction Gauge Cluster vs. Re-manufactured Gauge Cluster

Depending on how deep into the restoration you go, some would argue that the cluster actually becomes a "reproduction" unless of course you start talking NOS parts, that's a whole different ball game.
