: 66 SS speedo lens

I did a search and found a little info, but want to try to verify what I read. The current lens in the car is a repro with no hole....which is fine for now because there is also aftermarket gauges in the car. One of the things I'm planning to do when I do my frame off is to put back the original clock and fuel gauge. I'm hoping to find an original lens with the correct hole for the clock as opposed to drilling one... I've seen what the hole is supposed to look like and can't imagine a drilled one would suffice.... at least not for me. :noway: Also I read there is a difference in the coloring or tint of the lens itself???? and what is the exact difference to look for between the 66/67 lens??
thanks for all help
Seb

I can only repeat what i have read here, that the white lines are to white. Not the blue/greenish/white? that they are original.

I have seen some real nice clusters for sale recently that had the the right lense. ( Daytona swap meet )

Seb,

I have a extra, here is a pic. If you want it you may have it. It's not perfect but I think the little scuffs will polish out. Just reimburse me for shipping.

Bill
I also have a clock. it does not work but you can have it and send it out to be repaired

Absolutely Bill, I'll take it :hurray: , If I come across a better one down the road , then I'll up grade ;) . I have the original clock that belongs to the car ....so you can save that for another person in need. Will PM you with shipping info and you can let me know how you want to handle it.
thanks again

Keith,

Do you have any of the little plugs that go into the hole?

Keith,
Won't be taking it out real soon ... but will remember and see if you are still interested when I do .... and would pass it along as Bill's doing for me , shipping expense only. You did see that I said it's a repro.

Do you mean the lines that are on the inner section of the cluster that correspond with the #'s on the lens itself??

The lines and numbers seem to be more white on repops, could be age also.
