The last thing that needs to be done on the clubman is the guages not working. the speedo works and the lights for the guages work just the gas, rpm and temp guages not working. What should I be looking for or at to figure them out?

Guages not working

Power comes from the fuse block and for the temp and fuel guages passes through the voltage stabilizer. For a Clubman the colors going to the circuit card of the gauge cluster will be Black and White according to the wiring diagrams. The voltage stabilizer is located on the circuit board or the speedometer. If it's an earlier type gauge set the wiring could have the same colors or the earlier wiring was Light Green and Green w/ Black stripe.
If you don't have a wiring diagram you'll get lost very quickly.

Ok So I got around to work on the gauges. They are getting power to all the quages. Tested the fuel float thing in the tank and it is working and sending to the gauge, but the gauge is not registering anything. The temp is not registering anything either. And the RPM is not working either. It is all getting power. It lights up when I turn on the lights and the other lights work, like the lights around the fuel and temp gauges for hight beams and the other two lights.
How does the rpm work, does it run off the distributor? How and what does the voltage resister for the gauges look like? There is a thing I will take a pic of it tomorrow that I am not sure what it is.1971 mini Clubman Turbo

I don't have much experience with that type of gauge cluster so here are some wild guesses.
The speedometer has a push on cable and it may have been dislodged slightly when moving the gauges.
The connections between flexible circuit card and the gauges may be dirty and/or corroded. Disassembly and cleaning may help.
