Do you have any pics? This is exactly what I want to do if I can ever get all the working components gathered up.

I have the clock, and BLE 'BURBAN has been trying to help get the tach, but I haven't found a working unit yet. In the interim, Can you give details on how you did yours?

I don't have any pics, and did this a few years ago....If I remember right, when you remove the air guage, you have to cut out a clock mounting stud out of another cluster, and glue it into the new cluster. This will make it possible to mount the clock tight. It wasn't hard at all. Get a factory quartz clock, or have the old style converted, mine keeps perfect time. David

Hey Pumpkin, I want to introduce the guy who showed me how to do this mod, and who sold the cluster to me....It still works great!!! I love it. Maybe you can help BLE Burban out of this. David

Ok I've read and re-read this over and over and still can't make any sence out of it.....so DBLSPRT68 what is it you're trying to say?

BLE, the guy who is 84 pumpkin, is the one who showed me how to put my clock into a c40-60 tach cluster like ours. I bought the 80's cluster from him after he tested it, and then he wrote down how to install the clock. What I said was he is the man that knows these clusters, and you should contact him. It looks like he hasn't been to active on here for a while. I was going to suggest you buying an 80's cluster from him, which would be a plug in application. Have you got yours working right? I know the earlier tachs are a throw away item and not fixable, where as the later ones can be fixed, but with some $$$. David

Ah ok pardon my stupidity LOL
But yeah I am up and running now. However I am currently trying to find the materials to manufacture my own flexible P.C. board for my cluster so it'll look a lot better on the back side of the cluster than it does now. and if it works out right and looks as good as an original I may even offer to make up replacement ones for other models as well.
