Default Gauges for 86 Mustang

I have looked and looked. Does anyone know of a company that makes aftermarket gauges for the 79 to 86 mustang? I don't care if they are a complete replacement for the gauge pod that is stock or gauges that bolt into the pod.
I want new gauges!!!

Hope someone can help...

P.S. Some saleen gauges would be slick...

Thanks

Summit sells complete sets of guages (including speedo). They are universal
and probably geared toward the street rod crowd, but they could be made
to work in a four-eyed fox. Since they almost surely come with their own
illumination (which you could connect to the factory dimmer circuit), you could
make your own pod. Then it's just a matter of positioning them to fit under
the existing dash panel (pod cover), or you could fab up one of those too.
It would be sweet to have a nice set of mechanical guages living under the
stock instrument panel cover.

That is exactly what I was thinking...

I had heard of a complete pod replacement with new aftermarket gauges, but I can't find it anywhere..Oh Well..I'll just do as you suggest I guess..

It should look pretty hot...I think white faces would look great!!

Thanks
