its not so bad. ive saved worse. they are prolly right the glue will be a bit sketchy. you may want to find an alternate way to secure that one light bulb. the most important part from what i see there is repairing the broken trace. you will have to go from each socket before and after the break area and make a jumper wire to reconnect that or all the bulbs past the break will not operate. i can only assume the is for your cluster? theres always a "special" way to get past these sort of problems

So I could just put a piece of 16ga wire where I drew a blue line here and solder it at each end?
And yes, it's the speedo.

(no, the board isn't magically fixed, this is a dud unit I have laying around)

your on the wrong pin to catch that trace. how far are you from richmond?

marlinspike

Which side of Richmond? I'm like 35-40 min from Hopewell.

i am in the west end. if you come by with the bits and pieces ill be happy to help you rig something thatl work. or well at least try

marlinspike

Yes, but then the front of the cluster wouldn't be impeccable. Trying to find nice used parts for these is friggin impossible, and a new speedo is $658 wholesale.

it may be worth going to look....

it may be a diamond in the ruff...

Hmmm...let me know when you see a gen 1 (that's a gen 2, mine is a gen 1 with a modified gen 2 engine, but the electronics are different)
