If you have been following our thread in the 40-and 55- series tech section , you already know about these gauge restoration packages. If not, here is a quick summary. Gauge Marks is a gauge restoration business that does complete gauge repair, restoration, and calibration for 70-79 Camaro and Trans Am, 66-67 Chevelle, and 73-77 Chevelle. We also offer DIY gauge restoration packages for those same vehicles on the gaugemarks.com website.

We now offer complete DIY gauge face restoration packages for FJ40 with the 30 AMP gauge. We started with this package because it seems to be the most common. You can now restore your own gauges at a much lower cost than sending them out to a professional restoration service. You need only to remove the gauge faces from the cluster. The faces can be bead blasted or chemically stripped, then repainted or powdercoated. This package contains ALL of the markings you will need to reface the guages.

Introductory price is $99 with FREE shipping!!

What you will receive in your package:

*Speedometer markings with surround and numerals
*SPEED mph lettering
*OIL, FUEL, TEMP, and AMP gauge markings with bar and lettering
*OIL, FUEL, TEMP, and AMP lettering

Payments in US funds can be made through paypal. We also accept USPS money order. Please contact us through PM here or at info@gaugemarks.com for payment information, or if you have questions.

Remove faces and bezels and strip old paint. We used glass bead to blast the faces and bezels from this gauge set.

Mark the back of each gauge face to identify it before stripping the old paint.

Faces can be repainted or powdercoated any color that is desired. In this case we used a satin black finish.

The gauge marks can now be applied. Notice the location markers for the small gauges and SPEED mph.

PLEASE VIEW THE DEMO INSTALLATION VIDEO BY CLICKING HERE If you wish to skip the first few minutes, installation instructions begin at the 4:00 mark

Faces can be reinstalled by drilling the rivet holes with a 3/32" drill bit and installing #4 sheetmetal screws. Needles can be painted with Testors Fluorescent Red.

Thanks for the props. I'll have pics of the assembled white set in a couple of days. Still need to install the new international markings and paint the outer bezel. Got the paint mixed today. This is going to be a very nice set for a 'MUD member :)
 
UPDATE 10/25/11

Latest gauge marks package available with metric speedometer, 50 amp gauge, mid-late 70's hashes, and international markings instead of OIL FUEL TEMP AMPS lettering.

In-house restoration service is available for those that prefer to have their gauges restored professionally. Please feel free to contact me for more info.
Thank you,
Daniel

There have been several inquiries from customers (especially in Australia and New Zealand) about availability of 160 K/mh markings. The k/mh markings are a direct retrofit for a 100 MPH speedometer without recalibration. Likewise, 160 k/mh speedometers can be retrofitted with 100 MPH markings.
Thanks again for your interest!

Can the speedometer only be ordered in km/h?
I have replaced the small gauges with Autometer.
 
Sorry,
Didn't see your email.
What is the price, availability and shipping options for Canada?
How can such option be ordered?
 
This thread hasn't seen any activity for the past few months, but I appreciate all the customers! Most people are asking about in-house restorations. Yes, we can restore your gauges in-house. If you need any information regarding these packages or in-house restoration please feel free to contact me.
Thank you!
Daniel

PS: We also offer complete gauge restoration, calibration, and repair for:

  • 70-81 Camaro (all models)
  • 70-79 Trans Am
  • 66-67 Chevelle and El Camino
  • 71-77 Chevelle, Monte Carlo, and El Camino
If you have any interest at all in the new officially licensed Trans Am, take a few mins to watch this video. The cars are built by Trans Am Depot, and are designed by Kevin Morgan. Gauge Marks does all of the instrument cluster conversions for these cars.Thanks again!
