Ross VE, post pix.

Here's a better pic of the ones at the top of the list so far.

I am going to be running those in the 89 K5 I am working on.  Every 73-87 I own will probably end up with a set of these.

I see they stylized them more for the year ranges like the early ones but they look too plain jane. Which version do you think looks the best?

They took the fonts for each series run and matched the layout of the factory and implemented them on the HDX series.  They are all the same Kit just the faces are different.  I like the 76 and 79 versions the most.

For reference:

73-75 then 76-78 and then 79 up are the options for those of you who haven't seen them.

Sorry, I'm not technically advanced enough to get the pictures to load through my phone. The best I can do is post the link to their website.

VZ I thing the 76-78 are the best pick, color banding, ranges, just strike me as closer to period correctness, except now I want to go look at my '78!

I guess I'm just nostalgic.

Thanks RossVE, but they just don't do it for me. Please forgive... ;)

Very nice!

What's a little rain. I live on a gravel road.

I made a decision on the cluster. I almost put the stock cluster back in but I like the 76 cluster better and this one is mint. 76-77 cluster is almost identical with the exception of 77 having a choke light and the brake warning lamp being in the speedo on the 76. I like the blue lines vs no lines and white lines.

The factory lens was near mint, with one small blemish so I used a repro lens and polished out the other for the cluster on my 75.
