 Topic: 71 digital dash conversionPosted: 27-May-2019 at 5:07AM |

Hi I decided to convert my speedo cluster to digital when I couldn't find a new circuit for it. My old ones were about done after over 40 years. Here are the before and after pictures. If anyone is interested I will post the step by step instructions on how I did it.   Thanks Greg NOTE: How-to-Thread posted here.

Nice work! I'd be very interested in a step-by step write-up on this conversion. If you write a step-by-step up, it would be an excellent addition to how-to article section. Thanks for sharing this.
If you need any help with the write-up, let me know.

I am going to try to post the pictures today. For some reason I couldn't post yesterday. It would time out while trying to load. May be because of the storms going though here. I will try to make the process understandable but if you have any questions let me know. I will post the pictures and then the instructions in a follow up post.

I am not sure what happened either, but you uploaded (most?) of your pictures. If you check your file manager in you profile you can see all the photos you have uploaded. I added the photos for you above, but not sure on the order. If you get all the photos uploaded and write out the text, I can put it all together for you in a neat post.

Hi greg I used the 1/8 inch size. Easier to work with and it lays in the housing good. Greg
