looked through all their items, did not find either. I did e-mail them about the items I'm looking for.

I have a spare lens with the insert. Is a '70 different than a '71? Do you want me to shoot you a photo tonight?

Tried sending a PM but your box is full.

AM radio noise suppressor according to Dave @ Performance Graphics. Not needed anymore.

It's a capacitor. Or it was when new. It is likely dried out and in-effectual now...
It would help somewhat in smoothing the the original voltage regulator o/p.

It would be an odd place to install an ignition noise suppression capacitor. But they do look the same as they are both capacitors.

ok so next is I'm restoring the "light bar" for the gauges,
my question is the light bar has three "pods" that have a blue transparent "lenses" (thin plastic piece) are these suppose to be blue? if so why blue?
 does anyone offer new ones?
how about putting white or clear lenses in these, would it cause an issue with illumination?

ok, nice, those look green...was there a certain color for certain years?
anyone used clear inserts?
I am concerned that it may not be very bright with the colored lens.

It has to do with color changes with having a yellowish glow from the lamp and kindas changing when the light passes through the lense rendering a blueish color. If you Contact Tommy he can send you his phone number and can talk with him or just use messaging. He is a wealth of information. Hope this helps.  :cheers:
