Default Source for new guage panel?

Hi guys,

Does anyone have a source for a guage panel(speedo, tach, etc.) for an S model 951? Would be nice to have updated lights and such.

Thanks for any leads.

Are you looking for a modern aftermarket gauge set, or a factory replacement? Slightly higher watt bulbs and refoiling made a huge difference in the brightness of my panel. I'm not aware of any pre-fab aftermarket drop-in clusters for this car -- although imagine you could create something using autometer or similar gauges...

I up graded mine with foil and some slightly higher watt bulbs. Looks great.

I will upgrade your lights George. Or Colin can. It is easy.

What George wants is to fix the candle light dim gauge lights.

I recently purschased some drop-in LEDs for my gauge cluster and the difference is amazing. Even just taping the aluminum foil onto the tunnels for a quick fix, the light difference is great.
