Okay first I'm sure there are tons of us who actually know how to do this... I figured I'd just share incase there are those who do not know.
Scenario: 1993 Honda Civic DX (autotragic
) - No Tach
Goal:: swap to tach and retain miles of actual the chassis
Here is what my car had to start with: Giant ass temp and gas gauge.
here is the eBay purchased EX auto Gauge... DIRTY!!!
First step is getting the plastic shield off, this isn't exactly easy and requires a bit of patience as it is glued to the black piece... just take your time and slowly lift up on each major end
Once the plastic shield is off, the rest is a breeze, just push back these tabs, there are 3 on the top and 3 on the bottom, they generally come out with ease
Now I have both opened up and ready to at this point, swap out the speedo to retain my actually chassis miles
First thing is remove these two screws, having looked back at it, I don't think you need to remove them at all, but these two looked pretty nasty compared to the one that came with my car, so I swapped em..
remove these 3 screws on the backside of the speedo
now that it's free, pull it out, repeat on the other cluster and replace
now that I had two clusters and double the parts, I took the best looking part of each cluster to get a better looking cluster
cleaned everything up before putting it back together
use a bit of this to keep the plastic back together
and voila, I now have a tach, gas/temp together... and my new addition to the right, the OEM clock w00t w00t
