Interesting.........
After dissecting a bora instrument cluster at RSD on friday (with ShansAMG), we reckoned we could easily swap the dials and the instrument dial surrounds, maybe putting in those fancy needles from the TT too). This would prove an easier option (???) than swapping the whole cluster and updating the computers etc as i didn't know the history of the car i got it form at the breakers.
Whilst the needles easily pull off the bora sport console showing the nice dials in two parts (hidden by the black surround), unfortunately the dials in my 4 motion are lit up right through the center bit and won't pull off without breaking contacts (thus ruining the cluster and proving expensive). Shame really as the idea was a good one. The dials on mine are in one piece - which wasn't going to prove a problem. The dials in the bora sport use a different typeface to my exsisiting one too - i prefer my original to be honest. looking at it i'm sure the needles will pull off as they are only sat on a center spindle.
I'm pretty sure that after looking at it if anyone has the same needles as the bora sport version i've taken to bits it can be done easily. That way you'd have some nice dials to go with the chrome tacho ring surrounds. The only other thing to check is that the hazard and main beam light holes in the dials match the cut outs within the black trim that sits over your exsisting dials.
Just a shame my V6 cluster is slightly different (both clusters were from a 2001 car incidently), one made by VDO and the other by motormeter.
Unfortunately i've looked thoroughly at the dials for a part or item number and there are none to be found.
If i had successfully got them then i was considering a group buy for you lot if there was interest.
Oh and you can't get the TT needles separately either - they come as part of the TT cluster.
Liquorice, as you're only down the road, give me a shout if you want to see if your needles are the same as the ones with the bora dials.
I'm not taking any responsibilty for your car registering of the scale acceleration either should you put it together wrong!!!![^]
