My 71 is powered by a Subaru EJ25 (non-turbo) motor along with the side shift trans. I've been having some problems with the stock gauges in the car and decided to go with an aftermarket setup to not only have working tach and speedo, but to also get water temp and oil pressure readings.
Not yet installed, but the cluster has been assembled. All gauges ordered from Summit Racing: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i304.photobucket.com-11380-1489088334.1.jpg) |

That looks great - I like the asymmetry. And since Nature abhors even numbers, I have to compliment you on the odd counts (5 gauges, 7 lights). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
(But you better add one more mounting screw hole! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) ) |

Thanks.
Got the panel from 9xAuto for $85 plus shipping. Instrument cluster Gauges from Summit Racing: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i304.photobucket.com-11380-1489101760.1.jpg) Note, I had to change the Fuel Gage from 3314 to 3315 to get the proper ohm range. |

Looks fab. Are you keeping the panel aluminum colored or going black? And all 7 lights....what will you use those for? Nice piece of kit.

Nice piece of kit. 2 turn signals High beam Brake light Alternator light 2 extra at this point. Came with holes predrilled. I'm going to keep bare Aluminum for now. When I redo car interior, I may paint it. |
