Dashboard Refresh Project | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Hello to all,

Planning on Refreshing my CMC Dashboard with;

New Gauges (direct replacement)
Replacing all incandescent bulbs with LEDS
Adding the Resistor-Capacitor (dampening circuit) to the fuel gauge circuit

Anything that I am missing?

Any suggestions on attacking this project from those of you who have done it before? (how to access the gauges)

Thanks!

If you replace the alternator light you will have to add a resistor in parallel.

Or add a regular bulb tucked up behind the dash but use the LED as the visual.
