reddevilmedic Posted September 3, 2011 #1 Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) Like i said in my previous post, gauge overlays came in. today, while some BORING football was on ( Michigan doesnt play till 330), i decided to give it a whirl. heres what i did.... i removed the cluster. took out message center, to check for solder breaks. unscrewed the 6 screws holding the black faceplate on to expose gauges. cleaned gauges with dustfree cloth. removed overlays and spread out on clean work surface. carefully removed tach overlay and sprayed with enclosed solution (soapy water). punched out tiny hole where needle stop is with a paperclip. carefully slid overlay over gauge face and aligned using a maglite. used enclosed squeegee to remove bubbles. voila!! did this on temp, volt, and speedo. speedo didnt quite line up right for my 83vr. off by 5mph. dont care, these look sweet!!! its really made for 86-94, skydoc sent them a cluster. thanks earl! reassembled cluster. these were custom made for our forum!! please show your support and get a great custom look! price is 19.99 for white. a dozen other colors are available. check out their site at www.whitegauges.net. it was sooooo easy that im getting a set for my car too! i also ordered some carbon fiber sheet to upgrade the look of the instrument pod itself. writeup to follow soon. GO BLUE! took less than an hour! Edited September 3, 2011 by reddevilmedic
DragonRider Posted September 3, 2011 #3 Posted September 3, 2011 But it sill looks kinda dated with the black , the carbon fiber will look nice......Who do I order them from....went to the web site they weren't listed.
reddevilmedic Posted September 3, 2011 Author #4 Posted September 3, 2011 you will have to call directly. they "only" do car gauges. this is a new adventure for them also.
bkuhr Posted September 3, 2011 #5 Posted September 3, 2011 Very nice Looks like temp gauge needle is below stop pin in last pic.
reddevilmedic Posted September 3, 2011 Author #6 Posted September 3, 2011 it was. i fixed it. here are some pics installed. i added carbon fiber to instument pod. pretty sweet indeed!
Ottawa Posted September 3, 2011 #7 Posted September 3, 2011 Very nice!!! I wanted to change the look ant this does it for me.
Harmonicashawn Posted September 8, 2011 #8 Posted September 8, 2011 Nice job--both changes are very cool!
Canadian Venture Posted December 14, 2011 #9 Posted December 14, 2011 Well maybe a 1/4 effort. I had already changed my bulbs to red for a different look but it clashed with the green, red and yellow that were part of the original colour scheme. These look really cool!
Flyinfool Posted December 14, 2011 #11 Posted December 14, 2011 We need night time pics tooooo. Please......
