Earth

The gauge is earthed (grounded) by the large tab at the bottom. This means the gauges won't work properly until bolted in place. For testing, an earth wire can be attached.

Album 26086

The cluster is earthed/grounded via a tab

Wiring

Album 21619

Cluster gauge has these components:

* Temperature Gauge
* Fuel Gauge
* Cluster Lid Shadow Mask, which has these lamp masks:
  * OIL (red warning)
  * BEAM (blue indicator)
  * CHG (red warning)
  * BRAKE (red warning) [on USA 1200s and newer utes, blank on others]

  Album 21617

Indicators Bulbs are this kind. For more details, see Bulbs
Album 24410

Old VS New Styles

* Original Style: Labels written next to lamps
* New Style: Labels written on lamps, double-line Temp Gauge

Album 3100

Old Style: warning lamps have no labels (labels are on the mask plate):
Album 21615

New Style: larger warning lamps, with the labels on the lenses
Album 21614

New Style can be ID'd by the doubled temperature lines
Album 26218

Original Style with single temperature lines
Album 21618

Variations

Album 21613

• North American Market: has extra warning lamp marked BRAKE (see details below)
• non-USA, one lamp shadow is unlabeled
• 1975-up ute with larger warning lamps
