Re: Just Dashes replacement gauges - anyone have them?

If you make it up this way, I think I have the stuff you need to make it work.

I wouldn't stop there, a shell will be an easy score in the junkyard.

I think you need the glass cover and not the metal one

Talking Re: Just Dashes replacement gauges - anyone have them?

You guys are right... I am over my initial frustration of this not working as intended... How hard would it be for the manufacturer to say "will not work with idiot light dash"...

I have a line on a gauge cluster that will work with this... I think I will be back in business soon! Thanks all!

Does anyone have pictures of the back of the Tach/fuel gauge and the instructions for the GM salvage part?
