    My beautiful 72 convertible - Wrecked & Ruined

    Last Saturday I was on a short drive heading back home on a busy suburban road. Another vehicle driven by a total ***** decides to turn left through the intersection as I am crossing it and broadsides me. I swerved slightly just prior to impact and was hit real hard in the left quarter panel...

    Glove box light bulb question

    Steve, thanks for your assistance with this info. It's much appreciated. I'm going to try this one from Jegs as it looks very workable. I'll follow up with a couple of installation images afterwards.

    Hope everyone is having a great weekend and Happy 4th! I got back into this center gauges project again today. Added a 12 to 6 volt step-down converter which was recommended for the oil and temp of not connecting through the IVR and this worked perfectly 👌 I had 12v going to them for a very...

    Glove box light bulb question

    Steve, just circling back on this. Any idea where I can find this glovebox socket? I've been searching but not having much luck so far.

    Glove box light bulb question

    Ok, that makes sense since there are often parts used for both Cougar and Mustang. I can likely use this with an instrument gauge socket and light. Thanks again for the helpful feedback.

    Glove box light bulb question

    Thanks for the clarity on this. This one I have was advertised as for 71-73 but it must not be correct. I do see the type just like yours available via vendors like CJ Pony Parts so that's what has happened. I'll get the correct one.

    Glove box light bulb question

    Thanks Steve, appreciate your comments. I guess I've been confused with the rubber boot. I've got a few follow up questions if you can please elaborate. The bulb in your image is the one with the black wire, right? I must be missing the socket. So the socket plug into the rubber boot then? Is...

    Glove box light bulb question

    I'm adding the glove box light to my 72 convertible and recently picked up a switch on Ebay. I know the plug goes into the map light harness. The light bulb would need to go into the rubber boot which is super small. Anybo

    A Pretty Dumb Question...

    I've had my convertible about 20 years and have never unzipped the glass window either. Never a problem.

    Steve, thanks for these images and info. I'll have another look into this. I thought all the gauges were correctly seated. Fortunately, the cut out doesn’t show with the bezel installed. Looks like I could have saved myself some aggravation though 😆

    Don, is this the correct sending unit to be using? This is what I have. There is another version that indicates "with lamps".

    Steve, thanks for your comments. I do have a separate tach as I've still got the base main cluster. I did repla ce the cloudy lenses and all the lights a couple of years back. t The senders are wired to run through the firewall with the power source coming from the main cluster like you...

    Hi All, after reviewing the other great posts on this thread I decided to add the triple gauge setup to my stock 72 convertible with 351C which I've had for about 20 years. I've always liked this look and it turned out really well overall. I also added the correct clock and original console. The...
