I pulled off the nut. It is better. I'll also have to grind 1/8" or more off the top of the opening

Well, I ordered the new plate. It came. But the tuning and volume holes are unequal lengths. The radio face barely gets flush with the faceplate and none of the filler plates seem to really fit. I got a rubber gasket, black plate with mustang on it and a chrome plate. They don't fit in the hole...

I bought Custom Autosound radio and it doesn't look like it fits. Doesn't look close. There are three additional trim pieces, none of which fill in the surround. Have I got the wrong radio or the wrong plate? Plate appears original. Had the heater controls in there no problem.

I was able to polish the lens around the pin. I had tried to twist it off but it was tight tight tight. I gave up trying for fear of breaking. I trip through the buffer with white compound brought it back to new. I also did the gauge trio lens but found one of then is just plain discolored and...

Yeah, that will work. I'll post what happens after I get it in.

I would like to remove the pin and polish the lens. Is it possible to remove and replace it?

Here it is. I like having temp and direction. Would be cool to have in an old car. http://www.cjponyparts.com/dakota-digital-rear-view-mirror-with-vfd-temperature-compass-1965-2004/p/MI18/

It has temp, compass and auto dim. Needs a 12 v power source. Which leads me to my next question, is the lead to the interior overhead light hot? That would work for a power supply on the headliner.

:thankyouyellow:

Bypass as in connect them together?

I'm redoing the cluster and top and gauges and I thought it would be the perfect time to get a sound system installed. I was thinking I wound disco the speedo cable the tranny, tape up any loose wires and use my phone gps for speedo. Stereo shop is 10 miles away. I'm thinking it won't hurt...

Not much info on them. I have one per side, doesn't do much for holding the shoulder belt up.

Uh, pardon my ignorance ... But what is the blue pod part? I don't see anything blue and not sure what a pod is.... The lens was filthy inside and out. I was planning to clean the headlight switch. It's helped in other cars - just wondering if bulbs and regulator might help. I didn't hear...

Thought I would clean all the contacts and replace the bulbs. Dash lights are very dim. Maybe replace the voltage regulator too?

What have others done? Doesn't appear to be an odo friendly lens cluster out there....

After almost two years, my car is finished. Thanks to a number of members here for direct advice, lots of lurking and few parts. I announce the arrival of my "Fopar". Inspired by Vic Edelbrock's 73, I kept the original color and added a few period touches. I will add interior and engine pics...

I'm assuming these go right over the old frame? This might be the route to go rather than risking how a whole new seat will feel. Wasn't thinking re stuffing and recovering was an option.

I'm thinking of upgrading my seats as my resto-mod drags on. The interior is ginger so I was thinking anything with mostly black would be fine. Looking for some comfortable cruising seats. Anyone have any suggestions?u

Both answers are perfect.thanks folks. I like NPD but mustang market literally had a landau top sitting there for $144 and I got with PayPal in about two clicks. That was easy.

...and is a coupe top (widely available) going to work on a sportback (vinyl is as hard to find as trim)... Thanks in advance for any help.
