I installed a couple of them. They didnt get the wiper switch rectangle exactly right. Slightly off. You'll have to trim your repro woodgrain for it to fit and you might have some extra space between the woodgrain and the opening on one side or the other. Other than that, it fits pretty well and looks great
Thanks for follow up! Bef0re I would put out all more $400.00 I would for a real good fit, The trim out part I'm okay with but the gaps not so much! Is there anyone re-doing a good core that you know of? AL.
Thanks! Lost my job with Coca-Cola when Red Classic Transit took over the maintenance department then working on helping my kids out. And it did work! Both honor students graduates and gainfully employed and doing well! Now Working for a Family Owned Trucking company known as Ward Trucking, a wonderful company that looks out and cares for there employees! I restored and sold a 79 Corvette that took some time. I still have the 68 Corvette that I did a frame off on and of course my 1972 Buick GS Stage 1 4-Speed!I will be freshening her up. Drove her last week, there is nothing like the sound of a 455 going thru the gears!
I found that the quality (and very minute issues) of the repro instrument cluster far outweighed the cost of rechroming, plus painting the cluster once chromed.
Are the gauge studs the same pitch as the ones that hold the washer switch? I think they have a coarse thread on the end that goes into the plastic and a machine thread to hold the gauges in place.
It's been a rocky road, but have not sold my dreams. Kids are on a winning track with there our places and now it's my turn. Back to stay with what ever wisdom I can bring to the forum, you all the best! Spine surgery went well and thank you all for the support! Now it time to enjoy my toys and the super comeradery of a great bunch Buick Friends!
