Hi ..
nice to see your note.
I'll try that cyanoacrylate stuff..actually I did already ..didn't work out.

speaking of evilbay ..
there's an instrument cluster on there for 150 ...says 85 to 91 which
can't be right since 85 is different ( no DOPS oil circuitl ) ..
plus the tach shown is for a Wolfsburg 84 ...all black face on the tach
( no green band ) ....
plus ......I did not see how to email the guy ..
and it says 'no returns' ..and two mounting tabs are broken off.

if there's no talking to the seller ..
and no returning it, and it's not really what the seller claims it is ..
I don't do business that way.

DeOxlt ..I better check that out !
thanks ,
Scott

I got a fantastic deal on a distrib from him and a Left Coast member mentioned a warehouse parts collection ! some DeOxIt, a few wire strands, maybe a pair of tweezers, a couple of drops of cyanoacrylate and a lot of patience could restore what you have as a back up.    h t h              mike
