Are you looking for a Gauge Cluster located in Canada, so that you do not have to pay brokerage?

-i think blackcat customz have a 'canadian branch' on their website

Or

Are you looking for a Gauge Cluster that has maple leafs (Toronto Maple Leafs would be even cooler) and 'Canadian' script?

-also blackcat customz i believe can make custom gauge designs (do not quote me on this), I have also heard if you are interested in the custom gauge, you should contact them via telephone, email is a no-no..phonecall indicates serious customer, with serious questions.

If you're looking for a gauge cluster with KPH as the primary readout and MPH in smaller numbers, try GMpartsdirect.com. If you can get past the outrageous shipping, they may have what you need, but I don't know parts numbers.

I hope by saying Canadian someone wouldn't mean metric. Metric measurement is pretty much global, and not limited to Canada.

I think it's pretty safe to assume that by "Canadian", he was simply trying to emphasize "not American, where most of our gauge clusters were marketed, and the metric system has been received about as lovingly as a case of aids".

The guy hasn't even responded to his own thread, haha. I think it's pretty hard to assume what this guy means by "Canadian". For all we know he could be looking for;
1) gauges sold in canada,
2) gauges with a 'Canadian' theme, or
3) of course metric gauges.

I haven't replied because I work 3rd shift....That's why and by canadian I mean I want KPH as primary numbers, and I want it in a sunfire cluster...I no longer want the MPH as primary I just want something different than what came in my car and being like the only J hooked up in my area I would love to have it one more step above. Thanks again to those who've helped...

I've seen a few postings on that web site that you posted Ethan...Do they sell only canadian j-parts? Just they don't have any actual pictures of the clusters.

if you just want a factory cluster in KMS id suggest car-part.com, then just contact the wreckers who will ship to the U.S.

id try www.standardautowreckers. com too. they have a yard in Toronto and one in new york, that way you will not have to pay duty on it, they will send it to the new york yard, then ship it to you from there.

standard auto wreckers is the best.

most times you can find a good about of J's in the yard.

I'm sure they will get something for you no problem at all.
