Is this right? Base models had gauges with black outer and metal inner faces? Higher models had color keyed outers with metal inners? 52 was the reverse with black or color keyed inners and metal outers? Thanks. John Posted on: 2021/3/15 16:15

It should be typical of the 300 and Patrician 400. I have a really nice cluster but it is currently inaccessible.

To recap: 51 & 53 have darker outers and lighter inner faces 52 has lighter outers and darker inners 51 & 53 had white lettering and silver poiter caps 52 is the same for 200's but 300/400 have gold lettering and gold center caps 200's have black with silver faces 300's 400's have either two tone green or Maroon & silver faces. Maybe others too. Thanks! Posted on: 2021/3/16 7:04
