Instrument cluster swap for 1980 Rx-7
To bad I cant find the post I read a couple of years ago on this
I know there is a good cluster from a later model 7 that will work on my 80 model
I just don't remember which one was supposed to be the "good" instrument cluster
any help will be appreciated as I am resurrecting the Beast 1nce more!!! doin the engine swap this weekend and I really want the good ...higher speed speedometer cluster to go in this car!! I know I might have to mod a little...Not Scared!!
Thnx in advance !!

Jees Thnx for the post !!! will try to find the 79 I guess ...I think it would be easier to just do a direct swap....
This car came from Canada with the kilo setup then I replace with a mph cluster then something shorted on the cluster killin the tach ...so heres the next question!!
what if anything will I have to change for the mph cluster to work correctly been years since I've had this car runnin!?

Hey is there anyway to swap out the 130 speedo gauge for a 150 out of a 83 cluster?...now that would be cool ...I could also copy all the facings for a reversed black on white background for each gauge!

You used to be able to get transmission-end-of-the cable "driven gears" in various ratios. No idea if they are still available.
There's no "gear" driving the speedo itself - - magnetic drag disk mechanism (aka Eddy Disk). Gears do drive the odometer, but any change of cable speed is done at the tranny end.
