Default Gauge Cluster?

Is there an Analog speedo/tach cluster that they sell for these cars? Or do all of them have digital?

Thanks in advance.

FYI d'Arsonval movement is a pain to fab yourself. It requires alot of electronic/math savvy. Just enjoy the digital goodness! Or wait for DQube to put his blue LED conversion out.

That is the only thing I dont like on these cars lol.. It looks cheap to me.

I would honestly prefer analog gauges.. I probably would end up taking it all out and making my own..

That would be such a pita. not to mention finding gauges that will fit. You would need 2 1/16 gauges to make 4 of them fit in there. Worth a shot I guess if you can wire it and make it work I would love to see this

Wiring is the hard part, the gage movement is based off a precisely wound coil below the needle. which operates on sort of a push-pull magnetic influence. Google/wiki "d'Arsonval movement" for more info. Its hard and a major pita.

I thought DJ Qube had given up on that.... He started it over 2 years ago IIRC.

Nope all digital. Even the Stack cluster is just an analog tach with digital everything else.
