One suggestion on the rear cover box though. I make the hole for the wires go all rhe way down so that you can remove it with everything all wired up. That way if you need to remove it to change a lighr bulb you don't have to unwire anything. The box is necessary to keep dust out of the speedo, it builds up faster than you would think!

Thanks and thanks again! No damage here but many people we know and coworkers were affected.

Dang I see what you mean on the hole. I also noticed one possible flaw, a plastic snap bushing may interfere if pushed in from the outside. so you would have to install it from the inside and then it is in the way of the box mounting screw. I will have to change that. I will just have to run the wires through the hole without a snap bushing on this one. I see also once I put the whole thing together that the back of the cluster is quite dusty and the space around the speedo would allow dust inside the front of the cluster and make an ugly mess so a box is required.

I will definitely take a plate and rear box. Also: keep me in mind if you figure out the whole no trip odometer quandary.

I would appreciate any feedback you guys have on these and will take suggestions on how to improve them.


All 5 plate/box sets are spoken for. I will run another batch in July if there is any demand for them. I do have one extra plate if anyone else is wanting to do this and I will get you a box first thing in July.
