    Tachometer for 73 Mach 1 broken

    Just talked to the mechanic. He sais, he has the original schematics of the car and tachometer, but it didnt work. So if you guys know of any "speciality" or something the mechanic might have missed, it would be great if you could give me some good advices. I'll relay them to him.

    Tachometer for 73 Mach 1 broken

    After my last try (and fail) with replacing a complete cluster on my old 69 camaro, i used a professional oldtimer/mustang garage this time. ;) I did not talk to them yet, but they wrote me an email that the tachometer was broken. So no details yet, but i'm pretty sure they know how to connect...

    Gauge cluster foil - Restore or rewire ?

    I wanted to do this but didnt find anything where i was sure enough that it would fit. Only thing was a full set of LEDs, but with bright blue LEDs for the normal lights. Im just not sure that wouldnt make it look to modern. Any hint where i could find good LEDs?

    While we'*re at it. does anyone know a way of restoring a very slightly scratched lens for the cluster? Replacement doest seem an option as only non-tach lenses are available. And thanks for the advice so far!

    Gauge cluster foil - Restore or rewire ?

    Hi there, i just managed to get a nicely looking gauge cluster from ebay to replace the after market stuff i got the car with. Condition looks good, but the film on it's back might not be in a good enough condition. The metal lines aren't fixed to the film anymore in some small places. Probably...

    73 Deluxe Interior door handle differences

    I just found out that my mach 1 has deluxe hardware but standard interior. That means of course that the handles are looking badly displaced. Do you guys know if I can just remove the small plate that shifts the handle ~3cm lower as seen above on the deluxe handle hardware to use it with the...
