Can't say I've fitted a different speedo, don't really see the need, but I will be putting in some gauges though.

sureley there has to be some one on hear thats done this?

Most of the after market dashes just sit in front of the original clocks. You could fit new faces and lenses if you wanted, but I doubt you'd be able to read the original speedo through one that dark.

fuel gauge could be a loose wire or the sender in the tank, both more likely than the gauge itself.

Minispares do replacement instrument dials, as do lots of others on the web
