New Duster dash!!

On new vintage gauges, I had to shorten the studs in the rear of the tachometer because they interefered with the steering column/pedal support assembly in the dash frame. I also added a chrome bezel brake light. I kept the N/V gauge plate and green turn signal indicators but replaced the blue high beam led with a softer output low voltage red one. That looks awesome though, I wish I had done something like that with the plexiglas and carbon fiber overlay now! Another side note is you want to tie a separate ground in. I used a long lead that goes from a grounding point on the fender well and grounds under a screw on the voltage regulator before passing through the firewall to the cluster. I used the blue with white tracer switched power from the key to power a relay mounted on the fender well for two separate fused hot leads. A 16 gauge fusible link from the starter relay post supply’s power to the relay. One hot with a one amp fuse to the gauges and another hot to the fuel pump switch mounted on the gauge plate. Just thought I’d share with you because doing it like this helped the operation of my gauges, the key switch power gets a little sketchy after 50 years (kinda like me)
