Det_Riot Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 So this probably doesn't belong here so if anyone feels like moving go right ahead. It's a mix of things so lets just cut to the chase..........I've got 2 weeks left before school starts and really nothing to do car wise due to lack of money. So I want to see if anyone is interested in having me make them a custom gauge cluster set up like I have in my car =D I could have your cluster retain stock tach and speedo so you can fit two 2 1/16th gauges in there or maybe even a custom 4 gauge set up! IDK i'm bored and enjoy doing hands on things like this haHere's some pics of mine for reference. I'm not happy with the quality of mine and it looks pretty good so you can expect it to be better than what I run in my own car. Because there's a slight crack where I filled in the old holes (on mine), I will be using bumper puddy due to it's flexability. to prevent this from happening to yours!(ignore my ugly needles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckles Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 hmm i dont suppose you could make one from scratch? as in i need one for the cobra but all it has to do is retain the stock dimensions of the cluster and itll only have like 3 gauges in it with the tach being the only one, no speedo.

LilRoush Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 that's what I'm going for >=]You should just get the actual Roush cluster. I wish they had them for pre-99 cars. I'd totally rock one of these.I'd would love a custom set up if it was possible to squeeze all the gauges together so I keep oil/water/volt/fuel. I could maybe do without volt I guess. I don't have fancy electronics to strain my alt. Maybe replace it with boost/vac instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a REAL working oil press. gauge...that being said its impossible to find those gauge clusters anywhere so I'm happy with what I'm going for Edited August 22, 2012 by iRoush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttocs Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 check out plasti-weld for your filler material its available at autozone and what I use in cases like this for mine. There are two different types depending on how fast you want it to cure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

330CubeGt Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I always liked what you did with yours and thought about doing it myself but never did. Props for being original and tasteful good luck on your future custom clusters Heads up and ass kickin! Using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttocs Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Is it still sandable?Very much so, sands easier then bondo but less then fiberglass. Fiberglass doesn't bond to plastic and really would not be as usefull in this instance. Trust me I have done both and for smaller projects like this give the epoxy a try, it bonds WONDERFULLY to plastic and basically becomes a plastic. I used it in my gauge-pods I made as well as a couple of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT Rob Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) I did a similar thing with my Capri, I love how it came out. I thought of doing something similar for the Cobra, but I want all 6 gauges.How come the Roush cluster wont work in 96-98 cars? The housing is the same, is the wiring that different? I've got a 200mph digital input speedo in my 1984 Capri, and it's reading a signal from a 1986 T-bird VSS. It's accurate to 140mph, I haven't gone faster than that in it ...EDIT: Well, it looks like I answered my own question. There's a world of difference in the wiring and VSS/OSS transmitters.
