Volks,

It seems to be all the rage in Europe to install Vanagon gauges in your
van.  I have been toying with this idea for a while as my 1984 Westie only
has a speedometer and no tachometer.

I have an instrument cluster from a 1991 Golf with a tachometer and a
220km/h "950" speedometer (191 919 033 MQ).  The tachometer looks like it
is the same diameter as the clock in my Westie the only thing missing is
the water temp gauge in the Golf tach so a direct swap with some fancy
wiring behind it all seems out of the question.  The next step would be to
install the whole gauge cluster, which brings me up to some more question
of what do you do with the master cylinder / brake reservoir and the trim
piece holds the radio and heater controls? How do you "trim" it off and
still have everything look neat? Please let me in on the secrets!
