Late bay gauge cluster substitute?
This seemed pretty general and non tech so I plopped it here.
Has anyone seen a different cluster panel fitted on a late bay? If so, how was it done?
I'd really like to replace mine one day and can't figure out how to because of the curve of the dash.

Greedy53, I guess you mean a real glovebox lid? Mine's plywood. What'd he do with the vent levers?
Rob, I spotted a VW A pillar, and shift knob there. Anything else still VW? Not criticizing. Just surprised. Any shots further out of the dash? How'd
you attach that?

I guess because two of them are cable operated that would be easy, but the front vent would have been a PITA!

I have a pic I took for another related project. Getting an incompatible fuel gauge to work, which I pretty much have. Calibration is still a little
off but pretty easily fixed.
So I might as well show you all my cluster.
