Before and after cleaning up the steel wheels. Scrubbed up the rust on the outer rim of the wheel in the after picture after taking the picture (if that makes sense)

Don't forget it is plug and play and if you move it to your old cluster move the plastic wiring sheet too or the tach will not work (has no connection to hook up tach on your cluster)

Yup. I am going to leave it in the existing cluster for now. I will switch it if the trip odometer doesnt work though. I have taken clusters out but havent taken them apart. Is it hard to set the miles? It would be prefferable to just switch out the entire odometer into the new clustet but it may not fit because it is in a different location
