CORES
How to buy - with a core or without?
If you are sending a meter (your core) to me for conversion, select the 'convert your core' option.
If you do not have a suitable core, or if you want to remove your old meter and put in a converted one at the same time,
select the 'without a core' option. If you do not see the 'without a core' option that means I do not have a core available for you to purchase. This is also reflected in the Availability section above the prices that says 'I need your core'.
All cores must meet minimum requirements for conversion.
If you send an unusable core (bent, parts missing, dial rusted and/or pitted, etc) it will NOT get converted -
I will send your core back to you.
Sending in your core for conversion:
Send only the part you want converted. I don't need the entire cluster and it costs more to ship and insure one. Besides costing more in shipping, you run more risk of damage. I will charge a minimum of 1 hour shop time to disassemble and reassemble the cluster and am not responsible for any damage.

The main thing is that you send me a good dial and a decent case.

G1X8, G2X8 '67-70 XR7 tachometer, 8000 RPM:

Rally-Pac tachometer: I need the complete tachometer assembly as it comes out of the case (case, lens, bezel, etc) - not the entire Rally pac. The tachometer you send is the one you get back.
If you send a tachometer without the lens, bezel and three screws it will not be converted.
I will email you to send the missing parts or return the tachometer to you.

Packing your core:
When packing your core, it is very important that you protect the face and needle.
A piece of stiff cardboard taped over the face works well. On smaller gauges a spray paint cover or small Tupperware type bowl is good.
Either way make sure to pad the gauge well and use a box - NOT AN ENVELOPE!
The two studs on the back of ammeters are fragile and will break off if pushed on.
PLEASE do not wrap your gauge with packing tape. If you use tape, use blue painters tape.
