If I could slot a VDO unit in I would be interested to know how best to go about it and wiould be keen for any piccies, especially if we could hook it up to this electrical sensor sender I have here.
So much electrical crap on the back of my cluster I hate to think how I would get it in.. eek

Well, here is a pic of what it looks like from the front. Sorry, I don't seem to have anything in the archives of the guts of it.
Essentially, I pulled out the old speedo mech and cut a neat hole the right diamater in the front. I used the dremel to flatten or remove any plastic that got in the way behind the scenes. It all mounts from the front, so you don't have to disturb the wiring at the back much. I do recall having to solder some wires to a track somewhere for lights, but that was pretty easy and seems to be lasting fine.
So as I didn't have to disturb the 'flexible circuit board' at the back, I left the speedo sitting about 5mm proud of the black fascia, but you hardly notice that mostly. It still fits beneath the clear perspex cover.
The black texta (!!) I used to cover the remaining old speedo marks looks like $#!7 in the photo, but not noticable day-to-day. Not show-car stuff (although I guess it could be, given time and patience), but it certainly works.
I really knew nothing about it when I started either, apart from a vague reassurance that it would fit from some bloke who reckoned he'd done it before
