Just testing the waters to see if there is enough interest? Maybe we could in numbers get a better price for volume?
I'm wanting a gauge that says and read volts or voltmeter in the 70 script ( font) for a standard ( non-ralley) dash.
Anyone else needing /wanting one?  :dunno:

If the price is good enough and I can raise the money, yeah. Which is a long-winded way of saying "Maybe."

No nothing yet. I emailed Redline and they want me to phone them to talk. I haven't had time yet? 70 is different than 71-74 in regaurds to the scrip on the gauges.

If they want all the members in a group buy to be exactly the same, that would probably count me out. If not, still a possibility.

I'm assuming your asking why would you bother doing this? The Amp gauges have a reputation for burning up and sometimes causing fires.

Our amp gauges are redundant.  Only mopar has this gauge set up this way.  I have bypassed them in my and friends cars.  The build destined them to fail.

Interesting subject but why for non-RT dashes only?  I have the ralley dash and would like to replace my amp gauge with a volt meter.  Are there any direct replacements available for this?  PK

I need to have all my Rallye gauges restored.  If we can get a group buy going on complete gauge restorations I'd be in...as long as the price was right.  I've found another company that comes highly recomended and is a lot cheaper than other places I've looked at.  The only thing is that the guage faces are replaced with vinyl decals instead of silk screaning.

There are companies that make voltage gauges to substitute for amp gauges, but nothing "listed" so far for non-rally gauges. So if enough of us were interested it would be worth a companies while to make a "run" of these possibly?  :dunno:
