buy a cluster from a car off craigslist and hook it up, same concept and u can get the whole thing (speedo/temp/rpm/etc) for 20-50bux

I did this; took dials from an old car. It was a while ago but I found that not all dials will work. I bought some VW polo dials only to find that they contain stepper motors. You need dials with the older fashioned linear motors. I eventually found some in a Kawasaki motor bike.

Maybe it will work as there are Type R water and oil gauges in the shop?
