72 Cutlass repro 8-track guage cluster installed

Thought I'd post a pic of the installed gauge cluster that board member W70442 has been making - fit perfectly under the dash, mounting brackets lined right up with factory 8-track bolt holes already in place.

Pretty sturdy piece that becomes even more rigid when mounted, very nicely done part.


I also decided to install a power outlet unit underneath for easier access than the cigarette lighter location provides.

W70442 built this one for me. He does a great job.

Fyi

I put one under the dash on my 1970 W-31 2 years ago. Good upgrade over the stick lights. I prefer the accuracy of modern gauges to the Rallye Pac in dash.

Very appealing, fits in well with the dash... especially like the USB power port idea...
