What kind of a car did it come out of.

The 90 up clusters will not fit in 87-89 cars. (the airbag makes them different)The spedometers are different so You cant put them in your cluster. I'm looking for a 140mph speedometer for my 88 right now. I just don't want to pay what they want for a used one.Does anyone sell a new one?

I have pics of the different ones if you want me to email to you let me know

It says it will fit 87-88's..but they're asking 102 bucks already...

Let me guess ebay?

I have been looking for about 2 months. I have seen the 140,160.170,etc gauges and clusters go for 100-200 dollars. The least I've seen is $92 just for a used 140mph speedometer with no cluster. I think that much money for that stuff is ridiculous.

/me hugs my 140mph certified calibration police speedo.

Wow. 100-200 bucks for the cluster. That sounds like alot of money. Have you looked at replacing the cluster with real gauges? I saw a kit with phantom gauges for 400 bucks, but that is brand new. I believe the site was www.florida50.com
Maybe I should spend the money now so I can get a nice return on my inst. cluster. I cant remember what the speedo went up to though.
Hope this helps

I sent my speedo to Brothers performance and they replaced the face with a 140 mph face plate. Unfortunatley it had the right turn indicator light in the wrong area. Other then that I was happy with it.

Sounds like you have a good chance to change to white face faceplates for the entire dash area!

I am thinking of the florida guages myself if you go that route please post your opinion on the unit, thanks

Good luck

Thanks Chuck. That is exactly what is was looking for. Do you a website or phone number for brother's performance? Also how much did it cost?

Hozer 88GTConv · 12-30-2002, 09:50 AM

Wow, those clusters look great. I would like to have some accurate guages and keep it subtle like that. $460 for the complete setup. Man, that's nice. I may have to take the plunge..

Thats their home page. I dont remeber how much it cost and I had it done a few years ago. Remeber they screwed up the indicator arrow on mine. Even though I specified an 88GT over and over again. Be careful, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
