hey i'm a newbie here, nice lookin forum. but that's enough suckin up from me.

i got a cluster for a vh off a friend of mine and he says it is from an interceptor or hdt commodore. click link below for pic, could someone confirm this either way plz.

also, as u can see it has two digital readouts in the top corners and i have no idea what information they are supposed to read out. my mate has no idea either. which proves how useless he is since i got the thing from him.

any help would be much appreciated.

pic was taken with my phone's crappy camera hence the shitty quality

looks like an everyday VB cluster to me. Do you have a better pic??? It's easy to spot the speedo (obviously) and the manifold vaccum gauge, but what are two top ones on the left and right sides???

perkins, in the top left and right corners are lcd displays, three digits each, look kinda like a digital clock. dunno what they're sposed to be wired to, or what info they're sposed to read out.

That is a custom job. The only standard VH digital display that came out was in the SLE and that stood next to the clock. I would say that it was a one stage connected up to whatever police equipment that was being used. You could easily convert it to a igtal tacho and speedo.

The speedo is a police speedo. My vc interceptor has the same fine needle speedo. Full instrumentation clusters didn'r appear until GMH started producing specific police packs.

Its not a Vh cluster. The neddle points on the gauges are vb/vc and the facia should be black on a Vh.

Yep it's genuine, I've seen a few, they also come out in the Kingswood intercepter.

Did you know that the VR-VS intercepter use a pointer from a EA Falcon.
