Hi All,
I've seen a few posts of folks asking about the aftermarket gauge clusters. I purchased one from Classic Dash along with Autometer UltraLite gauges. The fit is pretty good and I think it looks great. I'm converting from the old sweep style gauge with idiot lights. It's just mocked up at the moment. I'm waiting on the dash cap before mounting it permanently.
The issues I'm running into are:
1- The wiper and headlight switch bezel nuts won't work with this dash since they are meant for a deep recess. I ordered some aftermarket ones. Once I get them I'll let you know part numbers and how they fit (if they fit).
2 - I have the 3 speed wipers and the switch is super long. Not sure if it will mount ok. I'll see once I get the new bezel nut.
3 - The climate control box had a mount on the back. This dash doesn't have a provision for it but I'm sure I can fab something to make it so the box isn't just hanging from the front.
