How do you put blinkers in your gauges when you rebuild them ?

I put small green12v. led lights in my speedometer - got the lights first, then drilled the holes to size - 6 lights were not expensive off ebay, took 10 days from china. Was good to have a few extra lights.

Hey Donaldo,
Where did you get the white face decal and orange needle from? Thanks.

Hi John, I sent the gauges and speedo to Classic Parts of America in Mo. to be rebuilt. Wasn't cheap and they weren't in a hurry - but neither am I. They offered the white face set as an option.

Re: gauges

A little different placement on mine - I went in the other gauge cluster with little holes through the four 'bars' that separate the gauges.
