I am restoring a '49 F1 and am looking for a good source for checking out and restoring the instrument cluster. Does anyone have a good suggestion?

 

dennis carpenter has guage face decals ut i havent seen them they dont have a picture either i am also looking to find out about what to do about my cluster

 

I sent my instrument cluster to gentleman named Mark Clawson (Clawson Classic Instrumentation - Gauge, Instrument Restoration and repair) to have the gauges restored. He is currently working on them so I can't give you a "how he did" report, but after talking with him several times on the phone and via email, the guy knows what he is doing. Since I am running an '88 302/AOD combination, he is upgrading the temp and oil gauges to modern internals. The speedometer he is calibrating and cleaning and just a normal restoration on the rest of the cluster.

 

Hello

I apolagize in advance for posting this but I guess i dident read carefuly enough, so sorry this is for an aftermarket cluster.


I used the pannel from Dolphin Gauges (link provided below) on my 1950 f1, and have been very satisfyed with the look and function of it. Its a direct bolt in and macened and buffed perfictly.


5 Gauge 3 3/8"

Hope this helps! John
