Tach and Speedo

My instrument cluster findly crumbled. I am making a new cluster, but don't know how to post a picture. Please help me out. Oh yeah, the tach and speedo is from a Mustang II. That cars cluster is like new, go figure.

Don't know if you're attached to the MII gauges, but I replaced my gauges with Autometer. A lot of people here on the board have done so and mounted auxiliary gauges beside the radio.

 

I wanted to make it look stock, and I already had this setup. Do you know how to post pictures?

Yeah, if you just click reply then scroll down to additional options there is a manage attachments button. Click the top browse button and find your pic. You can click each browse button to add numerous pics. Then click upload and go from there.

 

My image is too large, 784.0 bytes.

 

Ken, email them to me, jmiles(at)dixiemaverick.com and I'll resize them.

 

Here is what the 2 main instruments will look like. The dash portion will be tan, not blue. Now I am trying to figure out how to back light the gauges. This should be an interesting project.
Thanks Jamie for your help.

Ken,

Nice job there. It looks very "factory". Like the tach.

 

Well, after studying the Ford wire diagram for the Mustang II and trying to incorperate the wireing into the Mav, well I can tell you, the car wont start. So I tried a couple of different way's to get the car to start. Nope, not happening. I pulled the wires out and boom, the car started.
I may see what it will cost to get the tach reworked, to wire it up like a modern aftermarket tach. You know, Green to pos on coil, Black to grnd, red to red starter wire. I'll let you know what that will cost.
