Title: WTB: Early cluster with tach (gas or diesel)
Post by: libbydiesel on May 22, 2012, 07:01:18 pm: I'm looking for an early rabbit/scirocco cluster with tachometer. Should look like this:

I'd actually prefer a gas tach, but w-terminal diesel tach is ok too (if they had them back then). Let me know cost shipped to 86001.

too bad you didnt need it last week tho, there was a NICE cluster in a 78 rabbit, something like 42k miles on it, with a tach.. i almost pulled it anyways, even tho i didnt need it, but i didnt..

my custom mk1 jetta one is my fav though.. mk2 tach, 80-81 pcb, boost gauge built in.. :) cannot use later ones as shift light in the way.. need temp/gas in those middle places for boost to be under tach..

Post by: ORCoaster on May 22, 2012, 08:25:08 pm: Dang thought there was one on CL but is for the 81 Caddy. Square block not the rounds. Kind of steep in price at 200 bucks. Might be a tad crazy priced.

$200 for a mk1 VW gauge cluster is INSANE..

$50 is even on the high side IMHO..

Post by: ORCoaster on May 22, 2012, 08:39:49 pm: Yeah the price of 40 is more what I consider reasonable. I wonder if he'd take it. The listing has been going for months now.

Post by: libbydiesel on May 22, 2012, 09:10:27 pm: Yeah, I didn't think there were diesel tach early style clusters.

Anyway... Anyone got an early gasser tach cluster? :)

Post by: BigVWman on May 27, 2012, 09:31:41 am: I probably have a bunch of parts and pieces but I would guess all my bezel pieces are damaged by now. Do you just need parts or whole thing?
Title: Re: WTB: Early cluster with tach (gas or diesel)
Post by: libbydiesel on May 27, 2012, 10:01:45 am: I'm really just looking for the tach, fuel and water temp gauges and the foil. It looks like I found one from another seller. I'll let you know if it falls through.

Post by: Powered by Spearco on May 27, 2012, 02:37:17 pm: If its not too late to say, that I've got 5 or 6 of those clusters in varying conditions. If everyone fails to provide one, I'd get you one for trade ::)?

PM me for info on trade.
