71 cuda gauge hi beam tube

[culp71]

where can one find the hi beam tube used on a 71 cuda for the back of the gauge?

They're usually sold only in sets of three. Dave at Roseville or ebay.

Those sets of 3 are for the indicator lights. The high beam tube is square and more difficult to find. I just bought one from Mike at BE&A, but I am not sure if he has another one. Give him a call.

I am traveling and probably have one so not much help, but I would suggest as mjb765 did, and check with either Mike at BE&A or Dave at ROseville.

Good catch mjb765, I need to read closer.

I had called Mike and he said I could get it anywhere and I was like "the square high beam tube"??  then he said "OH, that one"........Everyone seems to forget that one until you need it.

anyone have a good picture of one?
if I knew what it was to look like I would just make one.

[JayBee]

I believe I sent you this in another one of your threads. It's the only picture I have of it. The front will have 2 positioning/aligning tips that go into the two holes at the top of the speedo and the housing should have a square gasket for the back of the tube.

You could probably make one with a 3D printer.............

JayBee:
you did, and thank you, cause that's the only picture I could find, but was curious about what the front looked like, you explained that well enough too, I will make up my own. is there a lens at the front end of tube or just wide open?

trying to get everything in gauges an in/ on dash before I install it all and this is the last thing of uncertainty.

Not a lens so to speak, it's more of small square colored plastic film over the opening. I'll try and find some time to take that cluster apart again and get you more pictures. Pretty busy, new kitchen countertop and family Easter stuff on Friday plus Sunday.

[JayBee]

Found time, countertop is late getting here.










Gasket


Colored film. It looks brownish but displays bright read when the bulb is on. I added scotch tape to keep it in place.

awesome, many thanks.

What about for a standard dash...   what goes in the holes to cover the bulbs for the High Beam, Low oil pressure, and parking brake lights
