Dash cluster
I'm refurbishing the speedo/gauge cluster for a '65...round speedo. I seem to be missing the colored lenses for the turn signal/high beam indicators. Are these available? Source? If not, whats the best way to fix?
Also the fuel gauge doesn't work....seems to be fried(yes I tested it). Any replacements out there?
Thanks!

I made mine out of a green plastic 7up bottle. Just cut it into a square about an inch or so and then place it on something that will allow you to press a round instrument into it after you heat it slowly with a heat gun. If you heat it too fast or too hot or if you dont make it large enough it will wrinkle. I think I used a pencil and just rounded the end of it to make the bubble shape. You can use clear plastic for the red and just lightly tint it with some spray paint to make your high beam.

I found a decent fuel gauge for my 62 on eBay. Bought a whole cluster, but the price was reasonable (and I needed more than just the gauge).
