For some  odd reason, my 86 Wolfsburg Weekender has a clock instead of a
tach and I'd  like to correct that.

Anyone have a spare instrument cluster in good  shape (all mounting tabs
present, good foil etc) they'd care to  sell?

There's one on eBay for $250, so I'd hope to pay less than that  if
possible.

On that note, I see GoWesty has a 'cluster harness' kit  for sale for
$250...

most '85-'86 westy weekenders didn't have tachs.. usually the '87's  did.

anyway, you may be lucky and find that your plug is already pre-wired for
the tach cluster..

if it isnt, then you will need to swap some pins around in the plug and run
 a wire back to the coil.  it should be in the archives... ive done it
before several times. did the same thing to my '85 doka which had no tach.
