Custom gauge cluster

Post by lifted72 »

So I had to do some modding to my custom f600 dash gauge cluster, I figured I'd show it off a little.

It's a modified F-600 bezel. I added the the accents or eyelids or whatever, and cut the face panel out and made a new one.

I don't know the screw specs, but when I put in an F600 cluster, I was able to use the original screws from my stock cluster.

I imagine you can make #6s work.... Do you not have hardware stores in brazil? If you can just find some stainless screws that are close, you can make them work.

I found the 600 bezel at a swap meet.... it was just a stock f600 bezel, and I built the rest around it.
