I could have sworn a long time ago I knew where to buy needles for an instrument cluster. The should be the illuminated lexan kind… Anyone dig up a link? I have been googling around with no great result… ---

If your needles already light up can strip the paint off and re-use? If not, I would try to get some GM needles to work with. Most of them are clear with an orange/red paint that can be taken off rather easily. I remember seeing clear needles on Ebay a while back but not so much luck now. :shrug: This place sells kits to light the needles but does not include the actual needles.

I need ones that are about 1.5" from center to tip. They also need to fit over a 3/32 pivot pin. But I can probably adjust that. ---
