you would need to recalibrate i would think. They should have some that still have the stock rpm and mph on them.

you could just stick them on if all the numbers all line up. How ever if they dont. You will be posting them back on ebay within days, or you can find a matching cluster. i dont think swaping the cluster would affect anything

If I were you I would try to contact the seller and see what speedometer they will come with. One pic shows a 160mph speedometer, the other shows a 140 speedometer. If I were to place a bet I would say you would get the latter. If you lay a 160mph face over a 140mph speedometer, it will be off...

You may check UPR too, they have a lot of gauge faces.

i got mine on upr its a pretty easy change, they just lay over your existing gauges all you have to do is remove your needles and they look pretty good at night too
How did you go about removing your needles? Those suckers are on there tight! I don't want to use any heat to possibly melt the glue, because that might melt the plastic too:?: Sorry, for stealing, but at least it is on topic.

The ones that say "no needle removal required" have big enough holes in the center they will slip over the needle's hub.

Those are for a Fox, they are. Just zoom in and you'll see the smaller gauges are on their side, not upright. That's for the sake of getting them into the picture.

Just because it comes with both a 6000 and 7000 tach face doesn't mean you have to use them. That's a generic face kit, the 6000 goes into a 2.3 or V6 model and the 7000 goes into a V8 car. Simple. Both are included so that it appeals to both.

they are just faces the needle is what is calibrated to the car. since you use the stock needle for these gauges u would not need to recalibrate anything.. just make sure that the needle lines up with everything with the car off and if the gauges are made for a mustang it should read accurately.

Yes, as long as the new face has the same increments as the old one. Overlaying a face with 160 at the place 140 used to be will render it inaccurate.

That is, in my personal experience, easier said than done.
