Where is the best place to get a TA bezel? And what white face gages would yall suggest? I know I want to do the bezel but I am still thinking about the white face gages. Any help would be great.

I got mine from Steve Heino and others have gotten the bezel from Teri Lane on the board. Either might be able to hook you up . Drop them an email.


this might help...........

One thing that I will pass along is that there is a small "TAB" on the back that you have to break out. Nothing major but if you dont the bezel wont sit flat(from experence) .

Yes, there are 2 tabs on the back of the T/A bezel that the Camaro one does not have. You just have to cut/break these off. Also, make sure you take care not to pinch the speedo needle when you assemble it.

I think I have 5 of them left. They are $35.00 each, plus shipping.

Well golly gee. I put mine in a couple of weeks ago and wondered why it didn't sit flat.. I must have had to many "barley" pops before i installed it...

Thanks for the heads up...

How compatible are those on the V6's? I know the speedo has a different range, has anyone tried to see if they are plug-and-play, or is any re-programming necessary?

Also, what about odometer? is it stored in bezel, or is data stored in pcm, so taht any bezel automatically shows identical mileage on the same car?

---

The bezel is just that, a bezel....it's not an instrument cluster.

Here's a pic:

The bezel should go right on. Your odometer will always save the numbers on it, even if you disconnect the battery, or remove the cluster.

duh, sorry, misunderstood. I was talking about the instrument cluster as far as compatibility.

Mr. Cotton's parrot: Same question.

Will replacing a cluster from a V6 bird be plug and play with a cluster from a V8? Or will the cluster have to be reprogrammed with anything???

There are six tabs on the back, two on the top and four across the bottom, which ones get broken off?
