Awesome top job

blondejay;67177 wroteBUY BUY BUY. Doubt you will ever see one this cheap.

Never were truer words spake (or written).

IIRC they use a VDO oil pressure sender, the 10 Bar unit.

Anthony comes to the rescue again with all the part numbers for the various R-sport dashes.

$200 is a good price. Both of the ones that I've had have been more expensive than this one. It doesn't look to need a major restoration either.

I heard back from the seller. He said the following:

Gauge cluster complete all wiring globe indicators etc., owned for 20 years should be in good working order. not sure about postage maybe between $10 to $20 approx

Do you think it'd look out of place in the 144?

Just put an offer in to buy it.

He's responded and is quoting postage for me, so it looks like it might be a goer.

Will be a touch tall for the 140

Will it? How much too tall?

Roger the R-Sport guy in Florida does adapter plates for usd75 I think @paul0075

Thanks to Michael for the dimensions

Nothing too drastic then. I can work around that. If I put this into the 144, then I eliminate the need for a dashtop pod for extra gauges.

Incidentally, I've seen replacement warning light lenses for these, but cannot remember where. Any ideas?

Thanks for all the help so far :D

The Reproduction Symbol Strips are listed here:

That's way better than the other ones I've seen, this looks OEM, the others don't.

Rob, could you please mark as sold. I've just paid for it. Thanks :)

Yeah dude!

Thanking you. Can't wait for it to turn up. Even if I don't end up using it for 140 with an adapter plate. I've wanted one for a very long time. Has been on the shopping list since my first Volvo, a 1975 244DL.
