if you want to swap your speedo over (to retain your cars mileage/mph) it only takes a few screws, a monkey could do it.

Go for it monkey man :!:  :D

Not that rare. That last one I saw on fleabay went for $40 US: the guys` pricing is simply way out of line with reality,... :roll:  :roll:

Where I come from a CE1 diesel cluster with tach is in fact pretty rare... 99% of them have clocks.

Let's see if he sells it at that price...

I did a quick search and they seem to show up here about every 1-2 months: that doesn`t seem very rare. Just out of curiosity, what are you prepared to offer for a 5.4K A2 tach??

He's been trying to sell it for quite some time now. It's bit pricey, for 100$ it would have been gone a long time ago.

That is only the third CE1 cluster with tach I've seen for sale, of course I don't go looking for them since I have a mess of clusters as it is :lol:

He first posted in December at that price and STILL hasen`t sold it. That should be a good  indication of just how unrealistic his price is: if they were worth THAT much, it woulda sold a long time ago,...
