Subject:Re: Removing foil from the tach

Update: success! Reinstalled the cluster this morning and everything works fine.   Except for when i turn off the high beams the temp gauge flashed three times. I can live with it. Also my clock has decided to work again but now counts every second. 

Likes: The Cluster Master was considerably cheaper than the GoWesty version. 

Dislikes: not sure I love the “white” led light. Would have preferred an option. Also not sure how the install compares to GoWesty but I was getting a bit tired of the YouTube narrator telling me to “neaten” the wiring with tape and glue. And holding things in place with a zip tie. 

All in all I’m happy, just a bit whiny! 

Canadian model tip: remove the dummy OXS light. Pops out easily enough.
