EL gauge face - Ripped off

[FreeLanceBum]

So, I found this on EBay a little while back. So I picked it up real quick for $15



Great deal, I thought.
So I go to install it tonight, and the fucker doesn't fit!






It was listed for the 87-89 dash, and I'm trying to put it in an 88 dash.
It's miss-aligned, a few holes aren't even punched in it.

I was really looking forward to the fun blue light

[SATAN]

Yeah that sucks cause thats pretty fricken cool lookin. there is no way to modify it to make it work?

[FreeLanceBum]

I'd have to cut up a bunch of material for it to "fit"
And if I start cutting it, it would most certainly short out. Not to mention some odd-shaped, oblong holes.
the power runs through it. (the white stripes)

[SATAN]

craptastic. at least you only blew 15 bucks. coulda been worse like the strut tower brace issues that people have been having.

[Lance]

Let me know what you try... because I had one of these waiting to go into my 88 as well!

[OK85ZX]

They were listed wrong on ebay. To my knowledge these haven't been around for the 87-89 for a long long time. If you really really want to use it, then do a conversion to the 84-86 analog dash.

It's easy to tell the differences as 84-86 redline is at 6k and 87-89 is at 5.5

[FreeLanceBum]

What a surprise, They are ignoring me.

[OK85ZX]

Blah blah you know what I meant, stop nit picking, the actual red line on the tach starts at 5.5 on the 87-89 as opposed to it starting at 6k in 84-86.

[FreeLanceBum]

Well that's good. They're selling what they say they are now.
But, they are still ignoring me.
