One thing I was considering was using an FC cluster. i've seen a few FB's running around with them, and they looked pretty flush. Have you seen that? If not, I can dig them up and post a few pictures. Just an idea

No I haven't seen that, by all means. I wouldn't mind the 9k tach and the 160mph speedo

I don't know how others have done this swap, but mine took a fair amount of fabrication to pull off. Nothing extreme, but a bit of a pain nonetheless. I had to use angle pieces off the support beam in the dash to make mounts for the FC cluster mounts. I had to trim and glue the facing from the FC bezel to the SA surround to pull it off.

I was wishing that I had used the S5 cluster after I finished it, much better looking cluster IMO. The cluster is a right pain in the a** to get in and out now though, not that it wasn't before.
