I need a picture of an XF instrument cluster. help! - Ford Forums

01-08-2003, 00:39

I am currently working on a rather exciting instrument cluster modification for my XF-S but i havent got a scanner to scan a photo of my instrument cluster onto my computer. I plan to modify a photo of an instrument cluster first, so that if it looks crap i know not to waste my time on the real thing.

So please, anyone who can post a picture of an XF instrument cluster (it doesnt matter if it is an S-pac, GL or Fairmont, so long as it has the mechanical needle type speedo and tacho) onto this thread so that i can get to work on this idea.

I would be very grateful if someone can help me out. If the finished product looks the goods i will post some pics on here so you can all see what i have been up to. Thanking you all in advance.

Try to PM or Email XF FALCON. He has a digi cam and I'm sure he's more than willing to help you out.

Its a bit dodgy, i took it at night with the flash.
During the day it would look a lot better.. but hopefully its what your after.

[EDIT] Sorry dude I just realised you were after a tacho too! My damn GL hasnt got one

thats ok, the XF tacho is basically the same as the speedo, only difference is the numbers (0-6 x1000 rpm instead of 0-180 km/h)

thanks a heap for that, i will post a photoshopped pic on here soon, then perhaps the real thing.

just one more thing? i hope this isnt asking too much but could you please take another one jusst a few inches furthur away so that the whole dash is in the picture? I will start on this one but that would be muchly appreciated.

thanks.
