that filter is not a GNX filter
that one was used on the Tom houser PI (performance Instruments) cluster

it had a piece of foam behind it and was glued to a black block of plastic with holes drilled through it to insert a vdo bulb socket in from behind
 
Yes sir !!! Dead on...Any ides where i can find one or anybody. that might have an extra laying around ??
 
I think I can help but want to see if I still have my box of parts from my old performance instruments dash I will check tonight when I get home.
 
So apprently, from the feedback I have gotten this was a Performance Instraments GNX style dash Cluster. Hope this gives you guys a better idea of the setup.

I looked for the part but unfortunately I don't have it, best of luck on your continued search. Hopefully 87we2 will be able to help you out. Good luck and sorry again.

the first two pics were a little too fuzzy but humor me and tell me what it says on the little badge on lower left corner the clear bezel that covers the gauges ...
 
I checked and only have this idiot light filter left for a performance instruments dash, it is brand new but does not have the color film its clear you would have to add the color. Tom used lighting lens/gel material same as used for in stage shows/concerts. This was the lens color method his early dash assemblies or translucent screen printing ink over the clear letters as he did in his later dash's or you could use colored light bulbs/leds.

If this will help you let me know.
 
only issue i see with that filter is the absence of the volt lamp lettering and instead has oil pressure lettering which normally would be not be needed and wuould not even be functional because you have a real oil pressure gauge in the dash that used the idiot sender wiring to feed the pressure sender signal to the gauge (just like they did on the ASC 87 GNX dash)
 
Correct Paul. I had an oil pressure gauge and an idiot light that was set to 10lbs of oil pressure just in case. Volts idiot light didn't mean anything to me because I had a volt gauge and a caspers field fix on it so I just tucked the volt light back in the dash.
