MK2 cluster "foil" question

[wolfsburg16v@hotmail.com (Tony Morehead)]

i had a 160 cluster with a bad "foil" and i understood from someone that the 
tach circuitry was the reason that you couldnt do that, so i bought a 140 
cluster with the same tach and foil and just swapped the speedo.  maybe you 
can tho, in which case i wasted my money because i have a 120 cluster laying 
here too.  i know that doesnt help but i am just chiming in.
