Heyas

We've had to park the Jetta and acquire a larger vehicle for our new family (Sam, 12 months old).
Naturally the transition into a Vanagon seemed logical having owned many vw's over the last decade.
The search didn't extend all to far as the guy across the way happened to have an 85GL that he was willing to part with for what seemed reasonable price. I had a shop check it over and besides some minor wear and tear it seemed descent mechanically. So 1000km later I've reconfigured the heater cable to there appropriate levers, replaced many of the non working dash light and terminated several dangling leads under the dash. By the looks of the not so handy work under the dash I'm surprised that the van hasn't melted down, which brings me to the Instrument cluster -- heheh -- All the idiot lights work but the tach, fuel and temp gauges do not. On further inspection and removal of the instrument cluster it is appears that a previous owner had done some handy work on the printed foil circuit with a soldering iron (looks to be an attempt to repair some areas that had been melted?) I am under the assumption that by solely replacing the foil this would hopefully cure these problems?
I have searched my local wreckers and haven't had any luck find a printed foil circuit as I'm sure they go they way of the cluster when parted out -- I did though find many not so necessary parts to help bring the van up to snuff, just not the important ones!

Any help would be Greatly appreciated.
