Dash 75series-79series and gauge install and clock plug in

Putting a 75 series sub tank gauge and dash pod in my 79 series to hold boost and oil pressure gauge ill add a third gauge sometime ,some pics and there is a few minor differences for you fellow 7x series cruiser fans.

So the 79 series is the one on the left and 75 on the right
for some reason the 79 only comes with 3 brackets but the 75 has 4

had to pull half the dash appart to find a good place to bring the oil and boost line through

the two front holes are for the dash bolts and the two middle ones are for the extra dash pod bit ,but its missing the acces hole for the gauge wires if subtank or gauge wires for altimeter bit,

no hole

this is my brothers 73 with altimeter stuff and this is the std acess hole

had to chop the guts out of the back and move the braket fromt the middle over to the right as it was in the way for the oil line

testing

i got it all painted and lines run through into the engine bay and wired the gauges light into to the cigerete lighter light so they come one with dash and headlights, i finished it yesterday ,forgot to take a pic ,will get one,

Take one clock

pull the bottom dash of 6 screws I think, the black plastic on the right with 4 clips pop it out

untape the orig plug

then minting we have a clock ,

The wrecker I got mine from has heaps of them , I think my spare one got chucked out , send me a pm and we can organize one for you but I think 99% of them are the brown colour ones just have to repaint it grey like I did if you have a grey interior

Looks good Clint, I've just ordered my Autometer pyro and I am going to mount it alongside the boost gauge in the same place replacing the altimeter and other crap that is there now with maybe the compressor & locker switches. Did you use the standard 75 panel to mount the gauges in? I thought I would have to make up a panel for it.
Thx
