I am not sure I have the budget for this at the moment, as I need to recore my radiator. But I was wondering if these have a sender for the oil pressure gauge or use the hose setup?

200? Make the budget Paul if/where you can, including eating Heinz beens.

Rob

they have a sender..

How about the fuel gauge sender, isn't that different to the standard ones?

Rob

that is standard.

Thanks Rob :)

BUY BUY BUY. Doubt you will ever see one this cheap.

I'm surprised at the 5gauge 1series cluster price.
Two on eBay at the moment for 980€(1500aud)

Am waiting to hear back from the guy

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?

paul0075

Just put an offer in to buy it.

paul0075

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

paul0075

Will it? How much too tall?
