Cheers mate,

Good score, saves heaps of time compared to the old tin snips. Be careful though i almost lost a finger with one of them when i was building buses. Or more specifically the razor Sharpe edge left behind by them.
BTW; the figure's fine, as seen from the drivers window frequently :lol:

You can use the speedo motor from your GLI cluster in the XR one. You get to keep the kays that way too.

The speedo needle should fit on the tacho as well.

Nice EB you've got there mate. I'm almost positive I used to see that car in Lakes parked at the Central Hotel quite alot.
Where abouts in Orbost do you live? I've got friends in David Street.
