This in green? 1972 fj40

Thats Blue LED

 

[Birdhead]

How much for that, in green?

As promised, EL wire pictures! As I expected, its awesome.

I realize this is not for everybody, but IMO this is the ultimate gauge cluster upgrade. Still, I'm giving everyone who is ordering the option of LED backlights or EL wire backlights - there is no cost difference.

Unfortunately, Andrew has not logged on to Mud since December of 2021. He did say this before then:

Sorry, been out of the game for quite a while now.

He did post (and I think I have a copy of) instructions on how to make your own bracket and mask. If I can find them, I will attach them to the bottom of this post.

FWIW, I posted the PDF from a Brave browser; perhaps that is the source of trouble opening with some other browsers?

Reply to an old thread. I assume the original poster is no longer available @amaurer
Is anyone else producing these? @JohnnyC
I would be interested in sending my OEM cluster from a 1965 FJ45 to have the retro gauges installed.

@Engineer8000
Hey Russ, could you retro fit these gauges? You can make almost anything

If someone can make a cad file, I don’t have the skills, could get a batch of these sheet templates made up from a commercial service

 

[Wadesters]

There was a lot of discussion about how these were made in earlier post on this thread. Don’t know if you saw that.
