I don't think the speedo heads are different because when I was about 16 (30 odd years ago ) a mate and I fitted a FB speedo into an FC. The FC one died and we had a couple of FB's lying around. If I remember correctly it fitted in like a factory FC one , with no prob's at all. Brad.

what i want to know is does 59-60 elcamino and impala speedo's go straight in and do they need to be recalorbrated if they can be and does it use the early holden cable end, anyone know or do i have to buy one to find out? Title: Re: Custom FC FE instrument cluster on ebay Post by: customFC on April 03, 2007, 11:47:44 AM It's stock standard FE/FC gauges that have been painted white, with blue globes added.
Easy to do, just a bit fiddly, but with the cost of some paint and some decals for the fuel and warning lights, very simple and not too costly. Regards Alex Title: Re: Custom FC FE instrument cluster on ebay Post by: smithy on April 04, 2007, 01:39:08 AM can the warning light stickers still be had?
i suppose rares would put them out or do i try and find NOS items? Title: Re: Custom FC FE instrument cluster on ebay Post by: RET on April 04, 2007, 02:41:38 AM There are both decal and replacement glass options available. The former were being done by John W in the Vic Club, the latter by Phil Illfield in NSW (PM me for his details, Ken might have current contact details for John).
