instrument cluster makeover

Postby my79monza » Mon Dec 28, 2015 9:07 pm

Here is the instrument cluster changes to my 79 Monza, haven't installed it yet as too many other things all going on at once.
Sure hope they work first time as it was a PITA to get these idiot light housings modified to fit with the new gauges.

I once read somewhere here, a comment that said "they didn't want to just jamb gauges in the hole". It's not quite that simple due to the indicators. Good work.

Beautiful job! :th: It is a project on my project list for my 2+2.

I was wondering if you could post the part numbers / sources for the instruments and if you were able to use all of the stock sending units or if those were paired with the new gauges?

Thank you for sharing.
