    Rotating the speedo and tach

    Has anyone sent out their cluster to have the sweep of the needles changed? I used to have a 911 and when I put in a smaller diameter wheel, I rotated the tach about 90 degrees so I could see the redline. I love the 350mm Prototipo I have in my E30 but I can't see the top 1/3 of the gauges anymore, so would like to have the speedo and tach needles start at 12 so the 'important' parts of the gauges would be in sight in the middle of the cluster.

        you'd have to print a new gauge face - rotating the needles themselves is pretty easy, but you'll want to be able to calibrate them.
