Nah... Just the temp needles are extremely delicate. They have a tendancy to snap the shaft.
Andys one however... Broke during the cluster removal... From the tiniest little bump

Looked like it was already broken and just sitting in place.

But I still feel bad for breaking it

I have a coolant hose adaptor for a temp gauge sensor that I don't need. Lol.
So could just put an aftermarket gauge mounted into the cluster?

I had to take the radio out and then behind the aircon controls there will be little black things you can turn and the light will be in that and the speedo will have two screws above the Km's on the black trimming.

Are the bulbs on the dash the same as the ones in the air con control panel? And did you get them from jaycar?

Edit: if they're the the same - I have a spare dash that I can quickly grab bulbs from

Sweet keep us updated, keen to see how this turns out. Heard wrapping large areas like the bonnet are pretty tough so best of luck you don't get bubbles/creases.
