Does anyone know how hard it would be to use 124 gauges in the x? I like the look of the later ones and was thinking about having a sheet of carbon fiber layed up to serve as the instrument panel and putting the 124 gauges in it. I was looking at the pictures of the interior of the 037 lancia montecarlo racers and decided that I need a cooler instrument panel! basically, I'd like to know if all the senders would have to be replaced. I assume that the speedo and tach would at least have to be recalibrated... let me know what you guys think! Take care and thanks!<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

don't you have anything more important to do on your car?

I think all of the gauges would connect right up, I know the speedo and tach will. The others are a little more difficult because the X instrument cluster has two big multi connector plugs. You would have to find the right wires in these from a wiring diagram.

Just bought a brand new NOS 1300 instrument cluster, woohoo.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->I was wondering about the other connectors as well... And yes, rebuilding my brakes is probably more important than worrying about stupid gauges.


Nah....

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->I scanned my factory gauges and designed my own look using the existing as a template. It worked great and I got some white faced gauges to boot. You simply print the new gauges out on a good quality printer and it looks factory.

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->Better check that the cable turns per mile (or kilometer) is the same between the two or you'll have to find another speedo drive gear (if the correct size is even available).

I wanted to do the same thing in my Scorpion, but the difference was dramatic.

The speedo should have a number like "7025/k" on it. I don't have one in front of me, but it could be printed on the face or the back of the guage.

Why not use an '80 or newer X set? They have a similar appearace to the Spider/coupe but will plug right in..... Some even have that cool (strange?) reverse tach!<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
