Many of you now seem to be interested in my dash. This is good, because it is now looking more like I will be able to do this. (But I still need some more people!) Many have had specific questions about it so I am working on an informational web page for the people interested. I now will answer some of those questions posted on the DML. One person asked about what kind of an overlay it is, and if it would be possible to do the installation himself without sending the cluster to me. The overlay is like you thought, NOT a conventional overlay. I am getting the actual black plastic face (this is what has the gauges painted on it) recreated in clear plastic, so it conducts light like a modern dash. There will then be printed decals with the gauge numbers on it which will be glued to each new face, and this is how I can do different speedometers and/or other metric indicators. The needles also need to be removed and actually disassembled when doing this. The needles are in two main pieces, the base and the pointer. (I dont know if these are the "correct" names, but thats just what I call them). I recreating the pointer in clear plastic so it also conducts light from the dash. Then they all need to be reassembled, and custom wiring put in place for the new lights. The primary reason I suggest people send me their cluster is because of this. It is not something the ordinary person will want to do. However, is you are really inclined to do this yourself, I dont think it would be much of a problem to print up an instruction sheet and send you the parts. I just dont recommend it. Another person asked about having the speedometer recalibrated when getting a different face on it. I will have the speedometer recalibrated myself and it will essentially be "free" to you, (Included with the $250). In a way, I would consider this also a "service", because I will also replace all warning and indicator lamps with brand new ones. And I am also considering offering free labor to replace a broken trip reset arm for the speedo, and re-glueing the plastic trim around the inside front of the binnacle. All other off-DML questions I believe I have answered. If not, please email me back. And anyone else who is interested please email me too as I still need a few more people to do this! ultra'at'isd.net The web address for my original post about the backlit dash can be found here for anyone who is just hearing about this... http://www.egroups.com/message/dmcnews/13047 Thanks for the interest!!! -- Jim Reeve <Ultra> '81 DeLorean-#6960 AIM-Ultra2169
