changing to the 180 mph cluster
If i change the 160 mph cluster in my 86 951 to a 180 mph from a 88 951 will it fit with no problems and give me a correct reading???

Don't know about compatibility, but the Speed sender goes directly to the gauge and not through the DME.

I run a 180 mph speedo on my 86'.........and it is accurate to 1 mph upto 120 mph. I did not test past that speed.
Plug and Play GPS verified.

would it be just the wiring and the setup in the speedo that converts it to a speed reading. so there would be no adjustments at all. switching between a 180 to a 160 or vice versa. that is what i would be thinking. since there is nothing in between them. i would think the germans would have engineered somthing like that.
