    $380? Holy crap lol

    For VN-VS the Jaycar kit is probably the best bet.

    There would be, but just for a gear ratio change the jaycar kit does the job fine so for the price I believe its the best option.

    yes but the accuracy is the key. i do certifiable work and the speedos are 100% accurate
    but each to there own

    to lower the kays on a vz cluster, u need consumer affair approval, and the cost is 220. i mainly reapir clusters... why are u replacing the old dash ?

    yeah the dummy wheel, i stock them but we dont sell them individually sorry, we go through to many of them as it is. Repair to an odometer is 95.00. and you also get speedo recalibrated, circuitboard resoldered and a test of all gauges
