I really like the stock gauges in the pods in the middle of the dash, however i've heard they dont work real well now that theyre old. I was wondering if anyone could please tell me how to make them work like new. Thanx

I recently replaced my gauges and looked at the "guts" of the factory gauges, looks like they use a bi-metalic strip heated by electric current to cause movement of the gauge needle. My gauges didn't work at all and there didn't look to be any broken circuits so I assumed that the the bi-metalic was worn out. If that is true (of my gauges, and yours) then it would be difficult to repair them. Autometer sells a line of gauges called "auto-gauge" they aren't that far off from the original style of the stock gauges (black face with white lettering) They easily are modified to fit in the stock location, are mechanical and much more accurate. I think Drax20Z has pics of his in a Z dash on his website. Hope this helps.. icon_wink.gif
