Has anyone ever attempted this? My cluster should show up tomorrow so I should know this weekend if it will bolt in or not.

I will be changing the gauges so wiring isn't that important to me.

Looks like it should bolt in. This one is an idoit light cluster but you could probably get the gauges to work if you took the time to adapt the harnesses.

I will post more photos as I go but it will probably be awhile.

I listed the stock Nova cluster and gauges on ebay if anyone is interested. Also listed is an ashtray that has been modified to be a dual 2 1/16" gauge mount.

Great idea! Can you find any aftermarket gauges to fit the existing openings? Very frugal!

I am still working on getting the digital gauges it into the housing. I will post more pics and diameters of the holes later.

I got mine on ebay for about $80. I had to wait pretty patiently for a couple of months though.
