Aftermarket gauges in 1969 XR7 cat??

Been trying to see if anyone has done a cluster with autometer gauges… with or without stock dash housing.

Yes Autometer does make gauges that work, and you can customize them to your wildest or mildest flavor.

I might be able to make a template for this application to get you started. the factory dash backs are very brittle, and no repros. are made that we know of.

Mike, 1970FastCat built his own custom cluster using aftermarket gauges on his '70.

Leon - none of those tachs go past 8000. Whassup with that?

302W will only pull 7500 and the Lexus V8 was too wide to fit between the shock towers. If i could afford it I’d try and fit an Audi twin turbo V8 , which will pull 9500 with ease
