Re: Catseye gas gauge
Reason I ask is there's not much info to be found. Gasket kits are a force-fit. Faceplate won't go in at all.

Re: Catseye gas gauge
My Sport Coupe has one of these lenses. I had no issues with assembly using cork gaskets.

Re: Catseye gas gauge
Thanks, Pluck. Fig. 14 is it. My faceplate is missing the paint, and turned around, apparently. Glass is amber.
The alignment tab on the new faceplate is twice as wide as the original. The drilling is too far inward for the second gasket to fit between it and the lens. Just FYI. |

Re: Catseye gas gauge
Send it to some one and have them post it.
Not me...I have one hell of a time doing it myself! I have never seen an "amber" lense but that does not mean Ford did not make them. Pluck |

Re: Catseye gas gauge
I do have one and the lens is clear, one side of the lens has a flat spot..for alignment I guess.
It's not installed. I can get pictures later...
