Rob,
I am getting close to being ready to install any high-beam indicator you might want. If you get a second to choose a location, shoot me a PM.

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects

Nice work Putter.
Rob, I'm envious about that fuel guage, too. But I think I'm going to like the clock.
Donna's (my wife) 1st cousin teaches printing at the nearby community college. He and a student did the reproduction. Turned out pretty nice, I think.

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects

GMan69, if Putter/DJRacer hadn't found that fuel gauge, that would be my next choice. Matter of fact, I'm trying to figure out a way to incorporate your clock into my interior! Do you think that the same thing could be done with the Oil temp or Water temp guage and then add them to the Autometer Phantom gauge?

Putter, do you have any pics of mock ups with the fiber optics going through the panel?

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects

I'm glad I could help on those gauges! I haven't had time to look (been busy on the drag truck)but i'll keep my eyes open for more! I'm getting ready to do my cluster as soon as i get my bezels made it will be a little different but should be another option. I have the large water temp gauge!

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects

Hey Putter,

Do you want my address so you can ship me George's(Gman69) cluster. I'll keep it for him until he's able to install it.

I'll give it back, I promise.

Nice try, Bryan. Putter's keeping it safe and warm until Donna's home from the hospital.

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects

What size gauges are needed for each opening? Also about how much are those fuel gauges going for?

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects

Sounds like these gauges are hard to come by. Good thing I didn't pass over the set I just got

All these clusters look great!. The more I see the Covan's model, the more I really like it.

Heck I may as well show mine. It's a little easier than mounting from behind, and I still like the looks of them.

The fuel gauge is not made anymore, so if you find a store that has it, you can get it at regular price ( roughly $50?)....but if an individual has it....it might as well be gold-plated!!!

HOWEVER....they do make all the 3-3/8" gauges in the Phantom series (white face) and you can get them anywhere Autometer is sold.

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects

Mooneyes has guages and they have a clock that appears to be about the right size for the center hole. I have not seen one used but looks like it would work alright imo.

I have found only two guages this size in the Phantom range - oil pressure and water temp - and they are both mechanical. If you don't want mechanical guages you're out of luck.

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects

Here is the latest update on Hart_Rob's cluster.
The change is minimal, but I think it looks so much better.
I simply removed the black paint that comes from the factory on the bezel of a 3-3/8" gauge. The brushed aluminum color that is left underneath perfectly matches the surrounding gauges.

Here is a comparison....
