Thoughts on a Dakota VHX gauge cluster for a 65/66

[bluemaloo]

hi all new here, but have had my 66 for over 10 years,.

...Just had a look at dakota- also doing a white face style in feb 2014 according to the website:

I have been looking at an upgrade for my 66 convertible- the group below do a nice unit as well, also in km

the above group are hard to find on google.  I am purchasing a panel from them, great quality

have a great new year

John from jme is a bugger to get hold of... He can quite often be out of stock of certain type clusters, so, just make sure he has the one in stock that you like before you buy....otherwise you will be waiting for months....Al

What about this 65-66 dash cluster for $452 + delivery. I know its in MPH but who cares.

Or if you want the original pony look go for this type.

All,
i have a set in my 73 - they do look great but be sure you set everything up correctly - i didnt due to being rushed and now cant the the odometer reading unless i take them out and send them back to be reset.

cheers

also make sure you tell them if its a lefty or right hand drive - yopu will need longer cables and guages "refocused" to suite rhd

does anyone do a similar replacement set up for a 64 style strip dash?

[rp1966]

I don't think there is one for the 64 mustang dash. In reality there is not much you can do with that particular design.

bugga,  64 strip speedo is so fugley. may have to fabricate something to suit,

Or if you want the original pony look go for this type. Again very reasonably priced at $329 + delivery.

Rp1966, do you have a link for these gauge sets
