I needed a new speedo and found a complete cluster for sale.
Also, I heard that the newer speedometer is more accurate,
and from the few miles I've driven with the new cluster, I'd
say it is showing a more accurate speed.  I also like the
green band on the tach dial - the '84 Wolf just has the
red band.  I also think the newer ones have a better voltage
stabilizer circuit.
