MK2 cluster "foil" question

[flaatr@yahoo.com (Euroroc II)]

I have a few of these laying about for my hybrid cluster... Don't ask.

Anyway I belive they are all interchangeable the only difference is what 
sections are not used... The tach sensor for the MFA/Cruise may be cut away 
or folded over, the LED bar may not have all 5 LEDs wired... there are 
slight variations but nothing that can't be overcome.
