instrument lens with the trip odometer

[NG8264723]

Is there one available?  I could not find one and had to drewel out the push botton and cut the new lens for the install....

There is no lens available with the trip odometer. You have to purchase the non trip lens and drill it yourself, like you have done already. It's the only way to do it for now.

NG826423, another one of those "Unicorn" 71-73 parts. You' could check with Don @ Ohio Mustang Supply, Mike @ Motor City Mustang, or Rocketman's Classic Cougar (and Mustang) Innovations (does of lot of Instrument cluster/and gauge work) to see if they may have any good used lens. The tachometer clusters show up on E-Bay occasionally but are probably more than you would want to spend just to get a lens. I checked a few of my good NOS sources for a lens like you need but no one has any of them left.

Repo people...where are you? There has been a need for this and the cluster mounted clock lens for a while now!!

Don, you are a MAGICIAN! Sure glad to know that there is someone in the parts business with good contacts that is on our side. When your not part of the 65-70 club, looking for parts for our "Clydesdales" can be a daunting task.

I have a few tachometer clusters stuck back for some future projects and the lens are all bad. Thank you for all you've done and continue to do for us!!

I had a crack fuel gauge lens. The trip odometer button is set in the molded clear lens plastic and I was afraid to try and pry it out. The new lens are completely flat so drilling a hole would not look the same.  So I spliced the good speedometer/trip odometer lens portion together with the other two lens from a new standard lens. I seemed them together where the lens hides behind the bezel with clear epoxy. Worked great.
