I have some images of an original N.Z carrier dash(less the speedo) It shows a white needle in the otherwise blank fuel gauge hole. A friend commenting about his Ford CMP instrument cluster,said"all the instruments are the same" that is"they are all the same guts, just painted differently

Ford CMP Instruments
Hi Lynn - don't know about the needle in the fuel gauge, somebody probably just painted it in. Re. Ford instruments, the Oil and the Fuel gauge have the same internals but different faces. However the Temperature gauge works in the opposite direction whilst the Battery Indicator and Ammeter gauges bear no resemblance to the other gauges. My advice is don't get your friend to restore any of your gauges.

Carrier Fuel Gauge
Hi Lynn - I think I posted this information before somewhere. What appears to have happened was that the fuel gauges in the Carrier panels were painted dark brown to obliterate them from view. I have one of these in my collection kindly donated from my West Australian MLU associate.
