Hi, I’m having trouble finding an aftermarket dash cluster for a 1970 dart swinger ( autometer has them for non swinger models) but no one appears to make them for the non-ralleye dash. Does anyone know anyone who does or has custom made them and can share process and/or pics. It’s weird that autometer does not make them given how popular this dash was. Prob has to do with the fact that the cluster is not flat in the swingers . Thanks the cluster is below.

You won't find one that doesn't require cutting the dash frame. All the aftermarket ones are based on the larger "Rally" sized dash frame openings.

Reason being is the metal opening is too small as is the gauge housing, you'd need tiny gauges to fit in there. On my 69 I was planning to used shallow depth gauges from SpeedHut and move them forward to clear the metal dash. But, I have a 3d printer so I can make what I want and graph it to a stock gauge frame.
 
There is a long slender digital cluster you can buy that you mount yourself. Alt least one member here has modded a Dart cluster so they fit inside the old bezel

 
Wonder if this 67-69 bezel would work in a 70-71 . Maybe even cut it at the orange line to match up with the existing heater/radio bezel

Here's mine. Peak Dash with Autometer Gauges I designed myself in their Custom Shop.

That's a slick dash.

What insert / gauge cluster did you use?
