    anythings possible with enough time and money but the physical size and shape of a vk cluster compared to a vs not to mention the different trannys to run the speedo transducer off, id say no.

    Yer i wouldn't bother as the VK digital dash weren't exactly the most reliable dashes in the world just go aftermarket digital instruments, cheaper, easier and more reliable!!

    If its only the digital speedo you're after, there is a way to get the speed alert module which is standard in a VS to display a digital speedo.

    Have a look here: vr digital speedo and tacho
