I bought white guage overlays for my Z28 and when i put the needles back on they dont want to work right. Does anybody have any ideas on what i can do to fix this???

Did you buy cheap ones, I havnt messed with f-body guages yet but does the overlay not lay flat. my thinking is the needles are hitting the overlay or it might be too thick or poorly designed. The only ones I would buy now are the ones that require no needle removal.

which ones are not working right? if its the oil,batt,temp,or fuel....you have to put the needles back on as they were before you popped em off. some people have bought those off ebay instead of from our shop and they do it themselves and stick the needles on wrong and bring it to us to fix it.

if u pushed the needles in too far, then they would stop workin. u need to leave a small space in between the needle and the overlay.

I bought them from WS6store.com, the ones that are not working at all are the temp, oil, and gas. The RPM and MPH are working but they dont move very smoothly, they tend to wanna stick in one spot and jump as it should be moving up. and the battery is working just fine. I even took the overlays off the cluster and it still doesnt work right.

Couple of things:

The needles are pushed back on too far.

The face is not laying flat and the neadles bind.

The hole in the face for the needle is not clean and is sticking to the needle post.

ok thanks for your help. I pulled them back off and put them on where I thought they would be and everything is working fine now.
