[s-cars] S6 Voltmeter to Oil Pressure swap

[Mark Strangways]

You can get the 92 or 93 secondary cluster from a wreckers (sorry,
recyclers) for relatively cheap, and buy a oil pressure gauge from them or
the stealers.. A bit of wiring may be required, but it's very do-able..
I am just getting my "Stock Look" 0-30 PSI gauge set-up going. I know the
font set that the gauges are in, and I know someone who will print it on a
colored vinyl to match the gauges. The secondary IC board is from a 100 I
believe and I am killing the voltmeter section of it for my gauge.
I may end up putting the clock in it's own cluster below the climate control
along with other gauges or a data port.
We will stand by for that since it has taken me a year to get around to the
boost gauge.

It's all possible though.
