Whiteface Gages

The Exploded view of a 5 gauge pod assembly....I took the old dash apart and cleaned the back housing and light shield with steel wool. No repainting was needed, as the flat white inside the sealed dash assy never saw light. Note the 4 blue bulbs to the right. I drilled off the light covers. Now they have a white glow at night. The lens can be seen laying to the right hand side. If you're using a gauge pack found at a swap or wrecking yard, be sure to check the function of all the gauges before applying the overlays. A simple test using a CVU will check their useability.
	Here, the overlay has been applied to the speedometer and reinstalled. The speedo needle will simply pull off. Hold the wheel on the back that's attached to the pointer..and gently pull it off. Repaint it while it's off. Note the cutout for the odometer and highbeam. The overlays are laying to the right. They are glossy prints on sticky back paper. Very nice quality.
Here, all five gauges have been applied and reinstalled into the base housing. The overlays have peel off backing and are very flexible so they will easily slip under the needle and can be positioned along the lower lip of the gages. Make sure your gauge face is clean before sticking down. After applying the face, slip a piece of paper under the needle and paint. I used bright red. It shows up very well during both day and night.
	A bit washed out...but you can see the contrast of the red to white face here. Notice how the overlay doesn't go to the top of the gauge. That's ok because the top of the gage is covered in the assy.
With Light Shield layed over the assembly. the overlays are centered nicely in the holes and look good. I repainted the outer side of the light shield flat black to clean up some handling scratches.
	The assembly with lens and new front bezel assembled.
The old cluster (actually rebuilt last year) and the new cluster. There is a significant difference in visibility.
	Finally, installed in the dash. I'm sorry for the low light photos. I didn't take the time to clean these up much. But I think you get the idea of how they look.

Gauges at night....best I could do.
