Not sure what other years are going to co-inside with that year.

I think 86-89. Why do you need a new cluster?

I do belwiev you are correct.....but they do look different in 84....more color amd different sized readouts...not sure about year to year changes in other years.

BTW there was a company that finally started making a custom color overlay for 86-89. Cant rememebr where I put that link though :-(

they changed the angle to deflect sun glare in 86.

84 is different but does work. I have a 85 in mine and my wifes is stock. I prefer the later years better. Much brighter

That was a nice improvement making them brighter.

Batee.com has a Corvette section devoted exclusively to LCD panel problems. After you read about it, you may feel you can fix yours. If you need a rebuilt one, look on ebay for scarabex(email @aol.com). I think he is one of the better restorers offering 1 year warrantees.

Good Luck!

they changed the angle to deflect sun glare in 86.

I always wondered about how they did that. I know that the dash bezel is thicker for that angle change. Did they change the cluster itself or just change the mounting brackets and bezel?
Anyone?

CorvetteArchives: Right on dude way to pull through in the clutch! I dont think its so much that I wanted that, I kinda do, it was more so killing me that I couldnt find it anywhere.
