Re: Gauge Cluster Restoration

I just used the mounting from Autometer and clamped the Tach on the column at a 1 - O'Clock position with a 3'' hose clamp. [But your machining skills are impressive.
In these shots, I was changing out the T/S Switch. Tach is dangling by its wiring. Oh yeah. The hose clamp was a Rolls Royce part. ''acquired'' from the Harrier parts bin.
Knee Screaper Gauge brace holds Oil Pressure/ Vacuum/ Water Temperature.
The GPS [Magellen] rests on the Ash Tray, it's top stuck to a Radio Delete Plate with a tootsie roll of green gaffer's tape.
Since adding a gear correction box to the tranny output before the Speedometer Cable, the MPH reads right with 235/85/R16s. I check speed against the GPS read, and it's within 2 - 3 MPH of ''Indicated'' speed.
Quite used to the Old Schhol set up.
