This weekend I pulled the original engine with 87,000 miles on it. Replacing with period correct 400 setup for road race performance and a tremec 5 speed.

Recieved my restoried original gauges from Auto Instruments today. They rebuilt the speedo, converted the tach to work with a modern MSD, calibrated the gauges, rebuilt the speedometer, replaced the bulbs, glass, and refaced the numbers and colors on the gauge faces, and re-numbered the odometer. Very Nice.

One question... if you look at the third picture you will see the back of the small gauge cluster (voltage and fuel) and there is a small hole that the bulb goes in.

This bulb gets power from a small wire and rubber grommet that connects to the back of the bulb. However, the harness does not have anything that will securely hold the bulb in place, its just a rubber cup with a contact in it. How do I get the bulb to hold firmly in the back of the gauge cluster??????

Default bulb holder
you are missing a metal insert that goes in the hole, to secure the bulb

Do you know where I can get one of the metal inserts?

Default insert
I will take a look at mine and see exactly what it looks like as I just happen to be repairing my clock...perhaps someone with an old set of gauges with that part to spare
