I used a tach from a 84 golf  in my 82 westy (1800 8V) . I had to do some
plastic trimming and fiddling, but was able to use the golf's gas gauge and
the vanagon's temp gauge in the tach. It really helped having the circuit
diagrams from the Golf  Bentley manual.

It also is very handy to have some spare instrument cluster bits and pieces,
including the "foil" circuit board.
