I have a question for all who have bought/installed the re-popped Dennis Carpenter Instrument Panel Cluster. Over the years, I’ve read complaints that the re-pop “just ain’t quite right”. What are the problems, and what if anything can be done to make it better? I’m going to buy one regardless, but I’d like to avoid as much pain as is possible. Thanks.

I bought one, no issues. Not much choice really.

Did you have to do any ‘ fine tuning ‘ to it? I recall a few members saying as much, but they were not specific.

All I remember doing was drilling the holes for optional gauges.
