After a considerable time hunting, I've managed to get a M2-1002 cluster with the idea of swapping it into my '94 NA. There are two major challenges involved. Cosmetically it's somewhat worse for wear with the paint on the facia peeling and threatening to destroy the lamp icons and of course, it's not plug & play with the existing vehicle harness.
There is also the small matter of a previous speedo face conversion from KPH to MPH which will need to be undone. I suspect Adam (Revlimiter) may hold the key here.
Through this thread I hope to share, gather and document information and suggestions to get the cluster looking good and functioning within my car.
I'll start by posting a few photos of the cluster...
Above is a photo of the cluster as it arrived. Note the peeling paint revealing the alloy facia.

Each wire routes via a connector or plug before terminating on the connector which plugs into the original vehicle harness. Note the foam noise damping material which has deteriorated into a sticky mess.

Above is one of a number of three piece plastic shrouds housing 1N1004 diodes.

Rubber insulated in-line connectors. The rubber is as new.
All cluster wiring terminates in the connector above which would connect to the M2-1002 vehicle harness.
