Gauge time. There were several issues about using the stock gauges with an LS. Tach feed was one of them. I decided to try the Speedhut gauges; feedback was excellent and well deserved. Neat thing about it is you can design your own bezels, backgrounds, needles etc. I cleaned up one of the stock designs, getting rid of the numbers below the tick arc. I placed the gauges in the stock TA bezel - pretty dirty. I began cleaning the bezel with Bon Ami and dish soap - nada. Tried a light shot with chrome cleaner - too much!

It took some of the turning out, but not the corrosion underneath.

Plan B. I thought of getting a repop unit, about $360 but not in stock yet. Ebay units looked worse than mine, including huge holes cut for long gone gauges.

Plan C. refinish existing piece - emailed but have not heard back from guy...

Plan D. Powder coating bezel medium gray for the race look.

Plan E ordered a Formy unit I saw on Ebay - got it today, excellent shape.




So now I need to decide which to use...
