[davek]

taking me gauge cluster apart and these are dead. Does anyone no the proper name and were to buy them? They hold the gauge in the cluster.

Those are insulators you need. Someone on ebay is selling them.

That ammeter appears to be heat damaged, likely will need replacement as well.

In most cases failures of the insulators as pictured, is caused by excessive heat due to the buildup of resistance, loose or overtightened stud nuts. The bus strip looks to be discolored as well, needle appears pegged over to one side, should be centered at rest.

Thats why I change the dash harness when I bought it,I dont like 50 year old wires.

so $1.98 for 2 insulators and $25.65 for shipping,I will pass

Yes I did but all my wires are new in the Bee so going to stay stock.

I might have a few extra insulators. If you can't find any, let me know & i'll look for them.

I ordered a new alternator gauge hoping they come with them,I looked everywhere and just dont see them for sale. All the dash kits only come with one,I thought you need two. One on inside of .cluster and one for the back.

I believe they come with it. If not, let me know & i'll find mine & send you some.
