Great job!
Last time mine fuel guage cluster was out I also cut the wire that conenects the two green indicator lamps and rewired them to be directional rather
than both flash at once. I don't know why this wasn't done ex-factory really.
Keep up the good work
Adam.

yeah thats done also, and I just bored out the back light socket and retro fitted a larger socket to accept 4W lamp so the back light is the same
brightness
on all gauges. The stock type 3 gauges are very dim

entirely depends on the condition of them and how much you are willing to spend.
I am a perfectionist when it comes to things like this.
Lets just put it this way. The amount of cash, time and effort I put into my own gauges, I would gladly reject
an offer for a grand I may take 2k ??

Great job. Best looking modified gauges I have seen for a German look late model Type3. I'd have those in my 70 in a second.
