Title: Swapping standard cluster with dakota digital?
Post by: Fern on January 09, 2020, 01:20:06 PM
Thinking of swapping out the standard gauges and installing the Dakota gauges. Since everything is being changed out, not sure exactly what I'll need.  Is it better to buy an old set to reuse the rallye  parts or just buy new? Again I will use dakota digital gauges, just don't know what else is needed to go along with it and if anything can be salvaged from the standard cluster.

Not sure I follow.

Is the Dakota Digital not a complete bolt in package???

I think you need the rallye cluster bezel to with it.

Redline Gauge Works now has complete rallye Dakota digital gauges ready to install. You will need the bezel though.

Fern, what are you trying to do? If you have a standard gauge cluster, you can buy the Dakota Digital package, and install it, needing nothing else. If you are converting to a rally gauge cluster, you will need all the bezels to do the conversion. This includes the switch panel and the heater control panel. They make both standard and rally clusters. Hope this helps...
