Speedo Cluster Restoration ??

[69Early]

Any of my fellow Classic Bronco members know of someone that restores speedo & guage clusters? Everything works, the faces and arms are all just very faded.

Jeepster did a tech write up on restoring one yourself. I did it when I did my Centech. Looks great and was really easy. Cost...$3 for some flourescent orange paint for the needles and some windex

Ditto. It took me a few hours one Saturday and it looks like new now.

Suggestion - I painted my ring BLACK instead of silver. I think it looks nice and clean and maybe even newer ( more modern ). Here is a pic , you decide.

I painted mine Blue to match the body.

2Bad & I were on the same wavelength! Only problem is MINE IS STILL NOT RUNNING!!!!! AARRGGGHHHHHH

Ask and thou shalt receive!

I went with a Metallic Cobalt, which is almost identical to my 2000 Ford Atlantic Blue.

That looks sweet Monkey...I never thought about painting it a different color...that would look nice with those white illuminated guage faces from Jeff's...good work man...oh yeah, your's looks nice as well 2bad

I purchased Chucks Halogen lamps to light my gauges. I haven't tested those puppies yet, but I believe that they will more than light up the old gauge cluster!

Besides, I can't use the JBG setup. I have already switched to a Voltmeter and their setup is for only an Ammeter!

I can tell you who NOT to use and that is Bob's Speedometer in Farmington Mi.
