I was originally planning on keeping the stock gauges in my Duster, but then I did an ammeter bypass, then the speedometer broke, and the fuel/temp gauges never worked to begin with. I don’t like having gauges thrown all over the car so I’ve decided to make it how I want it.
I haven’t started the operation yet but whenever I get over this flu it’s going under the knife (or Dremel).
From all of the pictures I’ve seen of custom/aftermarket clusters, everyone has 2 large gauges, and 4 smaller ones. For my plans I want 2 large and 5 smaller gauges. I ordered some matching Equus gauges and a close matching AEM gauge.
3-3/8” 160mph speedometer
3-3/8” 8kRPM tachometer
2” oil pressure
2” water temp
2” volt meter
2” fuel gauge
2-1/16 air/fuel wideband.
I wasn’t sure if I could squeeze all of them into the cluster but after doing some measurements, I think I can pull it off.
I plan on cutting out the original cluster face and replacing it with a piece of black plexiglass, cut to fit the gauges.
I’ll have to figure out how to ground the switches.
If you have any input or ideas I’m all ears.
