Title: Gauge Light Bar
Post by: 340Challman on January 03, 2021, 09:08:13 AM
Does anyone make the lenses and rivets on the light bar? I have looked and came up empty. Also, what sheen is on the black dash parts? Mine look more matte or flat. I thought they would be a satin finish. Thanks guys

I recently picked up a set on a site called Parts Hound.  The rivets also came with the lenses.

I have been working with Tommy for a long time, buying all kind of electrical stuff from him. Very good service and prompt service.

Those are the wrong rivets, you need semi tubular rivets 1/8 x 3/16 or 1/8.

Some good info here..

340 Challman, if you are interested I restored these, for standard instrument dash, light bars. They are OE and are for a 70 only and 71-74 application. They are really clean no rust lenses and rivets are clean also. Let me know if you have an interest in them.  Thanks,   Al

Man! What a drag. I would have been interested except mine is the rallye dash. Those look great. What did you finish the metal with? It looks to be more of a satin finish than mine. Then again, mine have 50 years of finish deterioration.  :bigthumb:
