I searched the site and couldn't find a company that repairs gauge clusters for both the speedometer and tachometer on a69 AMX. Any recommendations??

Thank you!

A little more information I think is needed.
When you say "repairs gauge clusters for both the speedometer and tachometer" what is it you need or is not working?
OR
Are you wanting someone that restores both the speedometer and tachometer gauges? If this do a Google search for gauge repair.
IIRC someone sells the printed board think you can find it on Ebay.

My speedometer is very erratic jumping to different speeds. My tachometer stopped working all together. Wire leads all intact. Need someone that rebuilds them.

Thank you

I sent my tach off to autoinstruments and it works great now. The faces you can get from AMARK and install yourself prior to sending to get repaired.

The cluster can be taken apart fairly easily just keep track of what goes where. Sometimes the speedo bounces due to a speedo cable that has a bend in it that binds and/or has no lube in the cable.

David, as Tony says, sometimes the speedomter cable is the issue with bouncing indicator needle.
On the wife's Javelin, the speedometer needle would bounce alot at speeds below 40. An inspection found out that the speedometer cable connection was loose at the transmission housing.

Hey ddonzella,
 
You might want to check with these guys.
Redline gauge works.
They can do any repair or modification that you want.
Including keeping 100% stock faces, but with completely modern works behind.
They are probably the best in the business.

PS Sorry about the crazy green italic print, I have no idea how that happened.
