And yet “another” gauge cluster, soon with eyes closed.

Thanks for sharing the preservation of such awesome cars!

Chris.

Thanks Chris. One item I have learned from pulling all of these clusters, the speedo heads and tach units need love. In this case, both units had bushings that were out of them, as well as the magnets. I was told by Roger today, the odometer while it worked, would have taken out the speedo cable sooner than later. The tach was wandering ALL over above 2500 rpm. It would have not been long before that shit the bed.

With shipping both ways, I'll have about 750 invested in that alone. It's not cheap nor easy to do these things correctly. It's the right thing to do. I'll have an update tomorrow on the chassis. So far, I'm happy with the results.
