Instrument Cluster surgery

Today, we’re performing a bit of surgery on the clusters.  The Rocketman Custom Cougar Innovations conversion tachometer (new life for a non-function factory clock), is being swapped into the cluster, along with a set of LEDs to replace the factory incandescent dash lights.  I also removed the factory ammeter from the center gauge cluster and swapped in a Bosch voltmeter (I picked that one because the of the downward sweeping needle).  During the course of the procedure, I wound up smoking the printed circuit on the backside and had to order a new one to get things back in shape.  Also decided to remove the blue bulb covers which gave the gauges the green glow… white LEDs are MUCH brighter, will take less power and make less heat.  While I was at it, and since I had to order a new printed circuit anyway, I grabbed a new lens kit for the cluster… MUCH better.
