You need to be more patient and wait for one to appear. You can always
try German Ebay for a genuine Vanagon Diesel tach cluster. I have seen
them on Ebay, here and over there. The ones here would be from A2
Golf/Jetta  TD cars, or 83-85 Quantum TD cars. Make sure it has the 2
lower face cutouts for the temp and fuel gauges. The word "diesel"
should appear on the face, along a calibration number 2.xx that varies
according to the alternator speed (pulley ratio dependent).
