15- The Dash & Instrument Cluster

The new Dash padding & custom instrument cluster.
The new dash went in easily, but be advised that the aluminum gauge panel didn't come any where near fitting. I had to use a belt sander and remove a lot of aluminum and reshape it to get it to fit the hole in the dash padding. Gauges are VDO Cockpit Series. The cluster includes Fuel, Oil Pressure, Oil Temperature, Volt and Ampere Gauges. These are all electronic gauges. One thing I found out after driving the car was that the Oil Temperature didn't register properly. I ended up moving the sending unit to a copper tee, which was then placed inline with my Oil Cooler to Engine return line.
