A-body Aftermarket Gauge Cluster

A-body Aftermarket Gauge Cluster - 08/10/08 03:16 PM

Just wanted to share this with you guys

I bought this from fast lane west Its an injection molded piece but it seems to be very nice. I got it with the gauges although its available without. Price is pretty good too!

I should be putting it in next weekend. I finally finished the wiring harness for it, finished it off with some weatherpack connectors.

Figured you guys might be interested

That looks pretty sweet. Nice and clean. I take it by the looks that is for a non-ralley dash?? I spent about 3 years looking for something for a ralley dash. Thought I might go with RMD before they went bottoms up. I ended up buying a repop dash from BEA. I am in the process of buying the gauges right now. The problem with the original and BEA dashes are that they take mopars non-standard gauge sizes. My neighbor and I are fabbing up some plates to use that will make up the difference so I can mount 3 3/8 gauges in mopar's 4"+ holes. Glad to see it looks like it is all working out for you.

Yeah, its a direct replacement for the 70+ non-ralley dash. I didn't take a picture but it came with 1/16" LED's for the turn signal and high beam indicators.

Red Line Gauge Works in CA makes one as well. It's a nice piece also.

Those look pretty good. Did they come with all the holes for the gauges already in them? I put a Redline Gaugeworks panel in my Duster, but I still have to figure out something to do with the lights and wipers which this one has. I saw them on ebay after I had already gotten mine put together, or I might have bought one.

Looks good.

Nice to see provisions for the headlight and wiper switches. Just checked out their website, takes a while to load but worth the wait. Nice looking pieces. I kinda like the brushed aluminum look. I'm really digging this one as I've already got a set of Autometer guages! http://fastlanewest.com/store/index.php?...products_id=328 How's the quality and fit?

The holes for everything but the indicator lights were there, and since I bought it with gauges in it, they were installed as well.

It seems to be pretty good quality, its injection molded plastic...haven't test fitted it in the car yet though. Should know soon!
