The aftermarket front bezel looks great. A good tip for anyone who bought an aftermarket cluster only to realize that it wasn't going to work. The front of the aftermarket clusters fit right on the OEM cluster and look very factory.

I have been wanting to do a video of an odometer rebuild for quite a while. I recently fixed a few and decided to give away all my secrets :). This is kind of a long video but I think there is some good information throughout the video. If you want to bypass all of my witty dialogue and...

@Red Dog 1977 A couple of questions. How bad is your current cluster and what do you want the result to be? Functional or pretty? The aftermarket options on eBay are not plug and play for a 77 you will need to do some work to make one work.

Good explanation. I have always struggled to explain what this is when people ask me. I am going to steal this so next time it will sound like I know what I am talking about.

@nabbasi I dont have any early speedometers at this time. I do have some gears though. PM me with a picture of what you need and I can see if I have it.

I would suggest you mail me your original cluster. I can fix your odometer. The 50amp fuse needs a shunt to work otherwise the amp gauge will fry. I saw your pm will reply back to you.

@javelinadave I only have 200kph with a single row see below. Let me know if would work for you.

@Lucky70 I will send you a PM I have a 180 kph that will work.

I do have a decal for this however it does not work with the backlit speedometers. Is your cluster a backlit cluster?

I have almost completed the Craigslist rebuild. I am sure I added 20hp with all this black paint. I am not sure what to do with the valve cover though. I don't really want to paint it or buff it shiny so I may just leave it somewhat as is. Also got my tank up, a very not fun job. But after...

These are all inner bezels from clusters that I have obtained over the years. It is strange to think that at least 60 FJ40s are off the road forever with a small part of them at my house.

I wonder if the the white wheel was worn out? I have seen many odometers where the wheels were locked up and the 10ths wheel was forced past the wheel next to it so many times that the white wheel is ruined. A trick to get it working would be to put the white wheel on the other end. I see the...

I made some progress painting the engine this weekend. I am cleaning and painting everything while I have the engine bay open. In bigger news was able use a new part I bought in 2016. For the win.

Check is heading your way.

Calling dibs on this one. Mark, I will give you a call in the morning.
