Re: Post your gauge clusters

Hey Mudder, did you have to do a lot of modification to the original cluster (cutting or anything like that). Love the set up!!!

Re: Post your gauge clusters

The bottom holes needs not be enlarged. I used a dremel. The guages are 5", 2 5/8", and a 3 3/8" that is not available any more. I think you can still get a 3 3/8" guage in the Phantom series. (white face).

Re: Post your gauge clusters

You can check out the Mooneyes site for a 3 3/4 inch clock that has a black face. If they still have it it would fit in that center hole very nicely. My guages are electric also.
