Hello I just installed a reverse Gauge clustor. I tried my best to remember where all the needles where at. I even moved the needles for the speed and rpm and they seemed to come back at a rest on the stoppers. Well, when I took them off and put them back on they didn't want to stay rested on the stoppers. They are a few mini inches away from the stoppers just pointing at 10 mph and just under 5 rpm. The other reading I screwed up on too. Is there any way where you can re-set the postion of the needles???? Thanks. renshig@aol.com. Oh I have a 95 gt mustang. [Confused]

its kinda hard to say on here. might need to find someone to help you in person

i did that once installing new faces.

with the rpm i would just turn the key over and then install the needle at 0.

etc.. etc.. etcc. after a few trys switching stuff around i got it to work, play with it!

Ok I will try my best to get it to work. I think the voltage reader for the battery will be the hardest along with the fuel guage readings. Wish there was some kind of code or button you press and it would just reset everything.

cruise with a homie at 30mph and when he says ok and you traveling at a constant speed, stick that sucker on on the 30mph or whatever speed is clearly marked on yoru cluster. hopefully when u slow to a stop the needle will be fully resting on the stub. [patriot] Let me know if this worked
