don't you already have a 140 speedo, lol. I haven't figured out the wiring yet to convert my base cluster over to the buttstuffog one. Maybe after the sending unit problem is fixed I can talk to you about that one vinnie.

Vinnie, your right. I would have snagged it up but I just couldn't come up with the money. Had to pay the insurance. :( Lucky you.

I'll never let mine go for less than $400

you know, somebody has to tear appart a 99 up or cobra speedo. somebody even a little bit crafty should be able to get them to work, they work the same way the birds/cougars do (electric). cobra gauges are sweet, they sweep out when you start the car and they (mine anyway) pegs at 160. sorry about the lowsey pic.

Nice.I wonder how much they cost?
Title: Small score today......
Post by: shame302 on January 09, 2009, 10:41:26 PM
50 bucks and up, theres a few of them for sale on other forums. both mach 1 clusters (retro) and cobras. even the GT one goes up to 120 (i think, ill have to take a look at it).

Vinny,

    If you got that 140 speedo where I think you did, that was an excellent price. Hell, you practically stole it.  Nice score. Even as cheap as it was, I still didn't have the funds.

You mean when you start them the swing all the way to 160 and then come back to zero correct? I'm sure there is a way to make any buttstuffog cluster do that, a little research and one of you electronic guru's.

Post by: shame302 on January 10, 2009, 02:48:30 PM
yep, well all of the gauges in my cluster make a full sweep then settle back to where ever they are suposed to be reading. well, my cobra ones do anyway. im actually not sure if the GT ones do that or not, ill have to check.

Hopefully I'll sell these parts eventually to fund a couple of more parts I need for the Sport.
