    Question VK Instrument Cluster Replacement - Options?

    I need to replace the Instrument Cluster in the SL 6cyl Auto VK.

    Currently the cluster has the speedo/vacuum/fuel/battery/oil pressure/temp setup. Can I replace this with a RPM instead of Vacuum gauge and if so from what model?

    Are BT1 clusters compatible with 6cyl?

    The only real problem is the speedo is toast and cannot be repaired, perhaps I can change out the speedo and vacuum.

    Can the 6 cyl Speedo be replaced with a V8 BT1?

    Any other ideas appreciated

    Thanks, I have seen a BT1 Speedo and like the face better than the standard VK Speedo Face (a bit more stylish and accurate). Anyone know where I could get an overlay?

    Sorry - that would have to be the most hideous thing I have ever seen. Gotta love the starwars dash though.
