How to retrofit a 1940 Ford Deluxe cluster

Step 1. Service/repair the speedometer assembly, then do a cosmetic restoration on the odometer wheels.
Step 2. Add all new modern meter movements for the oil, fuel, temp and battery gauges.
Step 3. Do a cosmetic restoration on all sub-dials.
Step 4. Install the sub-dials onto the new meter movements in the cluster assembly.
Step 5. Don’t forget to do a cosmetic restoration on the cluster housing too!
Step 6. While we are at it, let’s do a quartz conversion on the original clock.
Step 7. Take pictures of the retro-fitted cluster, complete with modern gauge movements and full cosmetic restoration, before you ship it out to one VERY happy customer!
That’s how we do it at Bob’s Speedometer!
When will you be sending in YOUR cluster to make it better-than-new again?
