| SPECIAL MODDED PROJECT HIGHLIGHT Here's a customer who customized his instrument cluster below using this face overlay set above. 
PARTS USED: 1992 instrument circuit board, 1985 tachometer, 1981 black box/frame with some slight mods and 1981 warning light cell ribbon. The OD lamp in the 1992 warning ribbon is an UP ARROW for the automatic overdrive and that up arrow is your only option for a manual transmission OD or up-shift light option. Plus he didn't care for the high beam cell. He thought it was an ugly blue. He also preferred the white lettering on the warning cells or earlier clusters, which does not appear on a later cluster. After all these mods, now he has an OD OFF cell instead of the UP arrow and a nice cool blue for high beam. He had to modify things a little for the ABS and Check Engine Light, but he says it was well worth the time. The Bulb Warning Light is not used at all, since he deleted the bulb failure sensor completely. He's thinking of modding that cell for a Fog Lights On lamp, since he likes the green cell for that option on his 1981 GTX. Plus the earlier clusters have a blue lighting filter, which he preferred over the later amber filter.

 VDO versus YAZAKI Instrument
ClusterA very large majority of 240 instrument clusters were made for Volvo by VDO, but there were a few made by Yazaki. So far, I have only heard of the Yazaki cluster appearing in a few European 240s. If you have a Yazaki cluster, the standard face overlays won't fit, but I can make overlays that will. The photo on the left is a Yazaki speedometer face. Note the lower odometer windows are separated . This is unique to the Yazaki cluster. It isn't the only difference, but it will help identify your cluster without disassembing it. So if you have a Yazaki cluster, contact me before ordering faces (my email is at bottom of page). Thanks, Dave |
