So i brought a second SS cluster with green LEDs and the same instrument dials that are in my cluster. I swapped the dials so they match the fuel and temp dial. I also swapped the white LEDs out for Green ones to match.

finally happy with everything. oil pressure gauge working and reading accurate (as far as i can tell). happy with the end result.

next mission is to put a cosmos purple monaro cluster in. i want to retain the SS and V8 logos in the cluster, so im planing on cutting the centre two faces out and gluing them together behind the cluster face rings so i have monaro purple outside faces and original ss inside faces. honestly, i don't why i even bother.

Yes I am mate. I’ll send you a message. I have a few options. Not a simple flat price.

as a matter of interest. I picked up a diagnostic cable from envyous customs. The oil gauge reads 100% accurate to the OEM LS1 oil pressure reading from the ECU.

Hi Ray, I forgot to mention my vy is a v6. The gauge mod might not work the same as it does on a v8. Not sure if oil pressure is different. Thanks for messaging prices on various kit options. Regards E
