Needle kits obs

[Robbin'thabanks]

Where can i get a needle kit for my 94 k1500? cause i got sum platnium guages and i still have the stock orange or yellow needles and it doesnt match the blue guages. I did a quick search and didnt come up with anything..

try us speedo or maybe stylin concepts. if not do like a lot of others here and take the orange off the factory needles. i scraped mine off, but i remember another member said he used fingernail polish remover and it worked great.

Another option is to find a set from a Monte SS or other that has similar designs. Pull the needles off the cluster and pop them onto yours. Just make sure and calibrate the cluster.

If you are pretty good with a piece of sandpaper and a rattle can, you can save yourself some money by doing it yourself. I just got done with mine about 30 min. ago actually, and they turned out sweet! First of all, if you already have the needles off, scrape or sand or w/e all the white/orange coat off of the back of the needles. Make sure you can't see any of the orange from the front side of the needles, or it will show through a little. Then take some 800 grit paper and sand all four sides of the needle to give it a sort of frosty clear color on the whole needle. (You might have to work through different grits if you used a pretty coarse grit when you took the orange off.) After you have done this, carefully tape up the black circle part of the needle. (Be CERTAIN that you mash down the tape around the base of the needle itself, or the paint will bleed through a little.) Spray 2-3 light coats of whatever paint you decide on onto the back of the needle only. You will get a little overspray on the sides, but that will be taken care of next. When that dries, take your 800 grit paper and sand the overspray off of the sides and front of your needle, being careful not to mess up the painted backside. After that, spray 2-3 light coats of clear, and you have a nice set of needles!
