Hi!
I was wondering, cause I'm trying to save a buck or 10, if this thought is possible.
I have a 86 and it has the standard cluster, I would like to convert to the gague cluster. From what I can tell on the electrical diagrams is that the devices are very similar.
Oil pressure
to convert would need the gague and the switch replaced with a sender.
Coolant
to convert would need the gague and the switch replaced with a sender.
Voltmeter
to convert would need the gague.
Now I understand that the wires i will need will be on the "plastic" circuit traces. I can easily work with that.
Has anyone done this? Did it work well? Do you have pictures?
New cluster as gauges $1,000 +/- $300
Plus new sending units
New gauges to replace lights. $30 - $50 (x3)
Plus new sending units
Electronics are my hobby so the wiring isn't that big of a deal, my concern is will it fit right? My thought process is yes that they all start with the same base then "blanks" are used to fill in the holes where the gauges would be. Then again it could be completly different.
