INT: fit a 5th gen prelude cluster into a cb7

seen this in person, wow.
1 question, does the gas needle automatically go to where it needs to be or should we fill up first and set needle at top?

That is what I did on my old cluster

Yes it will adjust its self.

I messed with mine to day (forgot how much of a pain in the ass it is to get that cluster in and out.) got the top to fit better.
used to have a wicked gap between the bezel and the dash.

still have gaps on the side. How did you make your mounting tabs?

if you take a close look you will see that i made the tabs out of left over plastic from the cluster itself. they are only there to stop the cluster from sinking in, however they are not bolted to the cluster at all. let me know if that helps you out

So the cluster is sitting on those tabs?

yes...the dash trim holds it in place once installed

Cool if I get motivated to take it out again i'll try that. You just made em out of spare plastic?

plug and play after doing some rewiring? or no? the cluster connectors match?
