did you lower the front end any?

i concur with Desert Driver. The knurled screw is easily accessed once you pull the gauge out. I have never removed the seat but I am sure it would be easier on my back if I did

many of these colors cannot be mixed using the original formulas due to EPA restrictions. I usually do what MFG suggested and get a color scan done at a paint store as a result

you can ground it almost anywhere. like the mounting brackets for the gauges

the most difficult part is putting it back in so that it is not cocked one way or the other. But then that is not hard. Just a little trial and error

It will probably just sit in the bottom of the gauge. I would love to find some that are brighter. I have tried several different brands of red LEDs and none are bright enough for me. Maybe i need cataract surgery🤣

and you will probably have to remove that gauge to get the bulb out of it. That is what i have done in the past.

More of a pain to do it that way really. Get one big gauge out like the tach or speedo and you should be able to get it done.

You might put this in the for sale/wanted section if you haven't done so already. Good luck

What ronmanfredi said. I do remove one of the larger gauges to gain access sometimes but it can be done either way. Can be done with a the seats in if your back is good.

good luck with that!

They have a crack repair but i have no faith in it. I have played with it and not pleased

Agreed and that is why i take the cracks down to the leather. Usually the cracks are in the old dye many times, not the leather in my experience

Sounds like you are doing it correctly. Looks good. I use a company called Leatherique and have achieved similar results. Cleaning and softening before dyeing is the key in my opinion

Nostalgic Motors used to install a second set on the sides for that purpose. THey were the same as the front ones just mounted on the sides

THanks guys. I have owned a couple of C3s and never thought about that being a C3 handle. On a side note, Alfa Romeo used the C4 center brake light on their spiders in the early ninetys. You never know where you will find Corvette parts!🤣

1) What year did they move he parking brake to the center of the console? 2) What year did they change from a cable trunk release to the electric one in the glove box? Thanks

You did not present it unclearly but if the same gauge was being used with sensors of a different resistances, then they would have erroneous readings

Lots of PB blaster and wait a couple of days. That is how I got mine off.

So are you saying that the Stewart Warner gauges that are used in the original and the Avanti IIs is expecting a different resistance than it was designed for? Forgive me for being confused om this. Do we all need to recalibrate our gauges in the Avanti IIs? THanks

So what do these three columns represent? Are these different versions of the gauge for different year cars?

See if this helps. I do not see any individual circuits for those gauge lights

Do you mean that the lights on them flickered or the gauges acted erratic?

I got lucky as someone had one and sent it to me. My radio is a RetroSound unit with USB, bluetooth and preamp outputs to a subwoofer amp. Works great and no cutting involved.

My car came with a speaker grille in the center of the dash so I got a pocket style insert used on the later models and created a holder for my iphone. Since it is an Avanti II, I dont mind making minor mods especially those that can be reversed.
