Well I finally got some time to put in my silver faced Canadian gauges in my car. They are Macewan Motorsports silver overlays with the T/A bezel. I got the little SS decal made locally.
I also got some brighter bulbs so it lights up nice at night with no dull areas anywhere..

Nice I see you have C, kPa and km/h on the gauges. I thought Canada used mph, and so on, like in the US. Didn't know you were kicking it euro style Posted by Bill 97 SS #1422 (Member # 1182) on :
Man you could freak some people out with that 240!

We started to go partially metric in 1977. That's when vehicle instrumentation, weights and measures, speed limits and temperature readouts changed to metric, just to name a few. It took a while to get used to driving at the legal speed of 90 or 100, a comfortable temperature was at 22 degrees and pressure was measured in kilopascals or bars, but now it's a breeze since I'm so used to it.

I put mine [white ones] on about a month ago when the car was in storage for the winter and on jack stands so putting the bexel on was easy cause I could run the car to move the speedo. If I was to do it again I would have removed the bulbs and put a bright light such as a trouble light under the cluster so I could line up the overlays better to the lines and numbers etc. The light would shine through the bulb holes to light the cluster. I had the cluster on the kitchen table cause it was not bright enough in the garage. I was only off the slightest. The more I would try to correct it by pulling off the overlays the worst it got cause I think they were getting slightly streched. The only time you can notice them being a bit off is at night and it's more on the low speedo. side. I also went with the brighter bulbs.
