Hello all, can anyone shed light on which donor gauges to get for a MkIV build.

87-93 I believe would work

As said above, 87-93, but 89 & up have the 140 MPH speedo. The speedo out of my donor 88 GT had only an 85 MPH dial - so I bought an 89 cluster. Other than that, they're all the same. At least that's what I've seen.

After further research, I think I am going to go with the Autolite gagues with a carbon fiber dash. I found 1 great project with such a set up and it looked very nice. Does anyone have similar carbon fiber/auto lite gauges? Please post.

Here ya' go; Autometer Ultralites in carbon fiber.

I like looking at the car from outside but it doesn't compare with this view--- from the driver's seat is still my favorite way to interact with it!

Cheers,
Jeff
