Hi,


Had this dash cluster stashed away from way back.

 

I took it to Aisat in Perth for an appraisal.

 

Feedback is that the intact bits are ok to repair but I need to get parts to fix those broken bits and it's unknown to them how & where I could get the bits.

Looking for ideas where I could get the bits whatever is missing or if that's too hard any other creative solutions?

thanks.

I've seen bits of dashes come up on feebay at times. I bought a tacho and 200k speedo separately. Patience?

That's the ideal bit to be missing, right? I think each of the quad gauges is just the same as an 'S'/'SL' fuel gauge?

 

If you wanted to outsource getting it all sweet, that guy (Jeff?) at Classic Gauge Restoration (on Facebook) seems to be the guru. He converts and rebuilds these clusters in huge numbers and seems modestly priced. Also I think he improved the voltage regulator which is a big deal. I think he's got a pretty good inventory of parts, and whatever he sends out will be working as well as it should, so at least you have confidence that when you put it in, it'll be sweet.

 

But you might be able to handle it yourself quite easily if you can source the bits. Don't know.
