I have been there - done that.  I obtained a late 85 cluster from a auto wrecker in
Canada with the help of David Marshall.  In it I got the Tacho and Speedo.   The
wrecker has an email address if you want.

First remove the instrument cluster by removing the four screws and disconnect the
speedo cable.  The circuits are real easy to disconnect.
.
The printed circuit are exactly the same.  I looked at the set up and rather that
swap the tacho from the cluster I swapped my speedo into the Canadian cluster.
Seemed less of a hassle at the time and I have my original kilometers still on the
speedo.  The only point to watch is removing the printed circuit from the speedo.
It is held on with little arrow shaped studs.  Just be careful prising the circuit
off these studs .  Take your time and be very careful its not that hard.

If you want any further advice email me direct.

Ray.
