[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]Now that I have a working 2005 cluster I wanted to make it appear to be his original 07 cluster with the white faces

[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]So I took both clusters apart and swapped the good looking parts over

[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]Everything cleaned and dusted ready for assembly. The needles are only pressed on lightly because they will need adjusting when power is applied

[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]Much better to have a nice clean cluster

These late model needles take ALOT more force to remove then the old ones I was worried the first time I was going to break something pulling really hard.
