New Gauges

southfour! · February 24th, 2010, 11:29 PM

I finally got around to installing my custom gauges. What do you guys think? I think that the white gives it a retro look. Does anyone have a good way to calibrate the needles? I think most of mine are still off especially the speedo.

Those are sick! I think the only way to calibrate the needles is to take the car to a Ford dealership. And your speedo is definitely off. I think the stock guages go to 120 and those custom ones go to 200.

its 200kmph im in canada thats roughly 120 mph. i had these custom made

mcqueen · February 25th, 2010, 12:41 AM

Canada, eh?

Hah well ride side-by-side with a buddy and have him do a certain speed and see how yours compares. If it's off, take it to a dealership and they should be able to recalibrate the needles.

i went into diagnostics and it will tell you your speed on the digital gauge, it was off by like 20, my RPM seems good and im going to fill up with gas tomorrow to make sure that works. Im sure ford will charge me over $100 to fix it lol. There has got to be a simple way, people change their guages everyday. On the AM install guide it says to take a pic of your stock guages with the key as far as it will go without being on and then put the new ones back to the pics. But its alot harder than that lol.

am is refering to things like El Glow gauges though...with the same MPH as the factory numbers...your custom set-up will need dealer fine tuning...

In my last car I had to get my guages recalibrated. Sent them off to a company in VA.

travis_afx · February 25th, 2010, 01:41 PM

I really like those, very old-school looking and that is a good thing

southfour! · February 25th, 2010, 11:31 PM

with this guide http://www.newyorkmustangs.com/forum...ges-t7574.html

it shows them putting the spedo at 80 which is halfway on a gt in mph, mine is a v6 and there reallly is no multiple of 10 in the halfway point. Should i just try to line it up the best i can?

Hey southfour, those look amazing! I have been looking all over for something to imitate the mach look, but nobody has anything like them. Where did you get yours from?
