Looks great, glad the thread was a help! I usually only use the supplied odometer decals if the original wheels are in rough shape as they aren't an exact match to the originals, that's my only complaint with Greenback's decal set.

Does anyone know where to get a relatively cheap cluster with gauges these days? Seems like rough shaped ones have sky rocketed in the 2 years or so this thread was written. Cheapest i have seen is over $150...and that seems steep to me unless that is the going rate these days. Thanks again for a great read!
Welcome to the forum! You should be able to find one for $75 or less. Deals are still out there; I recently picked up a semi-restored tach/air cluster in excellent condition for $325 shipped.
