Reproduction circuit board for rally pac gauge?
Is anyone reproducing the circuit board for the 68-69 rally pac gauge? Someone years ago tried to solder the pins to the board. I replaced all the pins with screws about 10 years ago. I have a bad copper trace in the the board, of course it’s the main 12 volt feed leaving me with no charging system or fuel gauge. I found a reproduction circuit board for the tach on eBay.

This is the repair I made probably 10 years ago. A couple of the pins had been soldered in place on a previous repair. When I unplugged the connector the soldered pins came out again, this time pulling the trace loose. I replaced all the pins with screws, all was good until late last fall. I knew something was wrong when the fuel gauge suddenly went from 1/4 tank to full tilt full, and the charging system wasn’t working. I wiggled the connector and things started working again

If I can’t find a replacement board, I’ll try to make a new trace with either small wire or solder. It’s just too much of a PITA to work on the back side of the dash on these cars for roll the dice type repairs.

I ve never made a board but it looks easy on you tube and youve got some big traces ...

This one was just posted for sale recently. It does need some pins repaired but it may be a better starting point then yours.
