V8POWA! Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 those custom clusters are actually really awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8POWA! Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Although it's kinda weird having one different gauge and the rest the same. If i can find a cluster for hella cheap, I may try this, but I do like the look of the pillar pods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttocs Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 before you close it all up get the chrome rings to go around the stock gauges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Owner is doing that to bring it all togetha. It's for his race car so he wasn't overly concerned with making it pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 really clean detroit! i'd let ya do one for me for sure!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT Rob Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Very nice!!! AFter seeing that, I think you can make 6 aftermarket gauges fit in there. I'm going to have to pull an extra cluster from the boneyard, and try it out with the gauges from my Capri. I think that would look sexy in the Cobra.

SVT Rob Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I thought FLorida 5.0 only did 4 gauges? I'ma have to go look at their shit again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT Rob Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Ah, I see, they move the large gauges to the outside, and put the smaller gauges in the center. No, I want to put 6 gauges in, and try and retain a "factory" look, with them all in their factory locations. I'm thinking that you can clearance the sides a little bit, and the autometer bezels can be pushed out a little, to make clearance. The only thing I'm leery about, is retaining the factory warning lights. And a high beam indicator, I don't remember where that is on the cluster.I'll see if I can pick up a cluster from the pick & pull this weekend, and I'll tear it apart, see what I can come up with. I have (2) 3 3/8 gauges and (4) 2 1/16 gauges, so I can either make it work, or break it really good trying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVT Rob Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 High beam indicator is between the turn signals, isn't it? Should be much easier to retain all of that, then. In my Capri, the high beam indicator was in the tach/speedo (I don't remember which one), so I had to make a new one off to the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMR Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 This is going to turn out awesome, keep up the good work man I have been thinking about doing the aftermarket gauge mod for a while, never really got myself pulled together to do it.
