Here is your email below which was received 20-11-2003. It would be good if you could replace the parts sooner rather than later as I am ready to bolt in the cluster.   Cheers, Rob P   I'll have a look to see if I can find anther glass/plastic cover for the speedo ,,its a 810sss piece and I'm sure the glass cover was too because of the trip meter reset hole... I'm blown away the reset dont work,,I would not have done built/played with it if it was shit..Lets blame the NZ post and I'll ask for some refund for the post shop,was the box in good shape when you got it?. That unit came up one day sitting in my garge ,,I thought id see if 810SSS gauges fit in a 510 housing,, I painted all the needles to match bolted it all up and never got around to sorting the rest out, I thoink not long after that I brought the bike shop and never had time to do much else.

I think i have anther 810SSS dash here I'll hunt it out.   The ones you got in the 510 cluster are 810SSS ones. I've never parted out a C210,carnt see any reason to do one?.

Remember it had a broken trip odometer that wouldn't reset and a crack in the clear plastic that you said you would try and find a replacement for? How's that going? As for whether the mod I described earlier fits, I only saw the assembly out of the vehicle, so you may be right - maybe. The dials on this 180B SSS cluster are blue-faced and rectangular, very unlike the one I bought off you. Your one had black-faced round dials and a speedo to 240 Kph. I think your one was made from Skyline C210 parts? Certainly yours is a better match in the 510 dash as it blends so nicely only a fellow Ozdatter could tell it wasn't stock :-P   Rob P ----- Original Message ----- From: maldat To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 23, 2004 1:30 PM Subject: Re: Instrument cluster mods, 180B SSS, TRX 5-speed NA PROBLEY WILL NOT FIT   I've only found W's in 810's... But going by the parts you are saying is it out of a 810 (200Kph speedo gives it away).   I think a 510 dash cluster I done with 810SSS gauges went to ozzie?.   Malcolm   ----- Original Message ----- From: Rob P To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 23, 2004 4:52 PM Subject: Instrument cluster mods, 180B SSS, TRX 5-speed Hi all, scored a 180B SSS motor on the weekend. There is no "W" on the block number so I assume it is an earlier version which means the sump should fit in a 1600 (510). It came with W53 (big port) head, twin "square-top" SU's ("with provision for an electric choke" - said the seller) plus a blue airbox but no gearbox. The  guy threw in a Bluebird TRX 5-speed and the complete 180B SSS tacho dash with 200km/h speedo and trip odometer, all for a very cheap price. Then he showed me an interesting dash mod you can do with your 510 if you're not interested in keeping it original. Around the dials of your 510 you will notice a recessed rectangle moulded into the fascia. Cut out this recessed part and insert a set of 180B SSS dials behind the fascia. Fits like it was meant to be! The 180B SSS dials I have have a dark blue background..nice.   By the way, how good is the TRX 5-speed box? I assume it's better or stronger than a Stanza SSS, of which I have 2. Any idea whether the TRX box has closer ratios than the Stanza SSS?   Cheers, Rob P   --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
