While doing a little more searchin i answered my own question. http://www.240sxfan.nismo.org/photo6.html This site had exactly what i was looking for. I haven't tried my gauge cluster out to make sure it works properly since i did it all but it seems like it should work. I say this because when you first open the cluster and you push the needle it makes a sweep and comes to the same resting position every time (this is w/ the little black needle stopper/post thingy removed) . When i put the needles back on they made the exact same sweep and only moved as far as they could previously. Its kind of hard to explain but that's the best i can do.

The author of the article might. And apparently, no one cares about your needles either.

Yes they work. I took 'em off, scraped off the white paint, and tried to do something original w/ 'em. But its not like indiglo.
