Here is nosaj2k's gauge cluster I just finished refurbishing. To be honest this cluster was already beautiful when Jason sent it to me.


Yep, the real deal. If you are having issues with your gauges and/or would like them refurbished, I highly recommend Kevin's services. Communication and work are second to none - very professional. Thanks!;D

I have two clusters that need to be refurbished. On from my 74 that looks OK but needs some love to get all the gauges going again. The other is for my 66 roadster. Both will be coming your way eventually but I need to decide what I want first. How much are the Volt meter and LED upgrades?

Here is a great idea for those of you who are running duel gas tanks. Notice that Broncobowsher's gauge cluster has two fuel gauges.

Kevin, this looks just like my '70 cluster that I was asking about earlier. I was questioning the faded line under the 70-100. Just like mine, the line looks like a faded orange instead of white. Can you re-paint this line in your restoration process? Should it not be orange like the gauge needles and not white?

Is there a indicator on the aux sender U can hook to the gage? I thought not then I sez, sez I "how did it indicate when switched to the aux?" "Why, on the same gage, chad, what else?"
So doin this has an advantage of always noing how much in each tank (w/o switchin back n forth)?

casadejohnson,

I dont charge anything to install the parts, the install is included in the price of the refurbishment. That being said the voltmeter costs about $50 (with shipping) fron jeg's and the LEDs are $2.99 eace from BC's

Thank you,

Kevin

jdamach1,

Yes, I can paint the line any color you would like. Unfortunately I do not know what color they came from the factory with. It looks orange or yellow to me but its hard to tell.

Thanks,

Kevin

Mine needs new glass, how much extra would that be or could I buy something around here in NC then ship to you?

New glass costs about $7.00 I will order and install it when I do the refurbishment.

Thank you,

Kevin

Sounds good, I'll be in touch when I'm ready to get it done. I'm thinking I'll get to see the first one done in a month or so. I would love to see a photo of one with the volt meter if you have one.

Thanks,
Jeremy
