Love projects and seeing what people have done, Pictures are always welcome. Feel free to show us your cluster project

I believe it is in my build thread for my truck.

anyone happen to know what needles work and look good in a 92-94 cluster? The newer cluster needles don't fit the older clusters...

no too sure i thought all the air core motors have the same shaft size.

Unfortunately not. The 92-94 clusters air core motor shafts are actually even skinnier than the 95+. And the needles are metallic where they push onto the shafts, unlike the later ones which are plastic.

Next time I go to the junkyard, I can look for some OEM needles and mail them to you if you would like, PM if you are interested. I'll be back at the yard at the end of the month.

I appreciate the offer, but I do actually have a good set of orange ones lol. I was just wondering if there was anything similar to the Aztec needles for the earlier models.

Slept on the problem and thought of a potential solution. If you get the Aztec needles, syringe, and some epoxy you can inject the epoxy into the hole where the shaft of the air core motor goes, filling the hole completely. Then use the proper bit to drill a new hole. if you cant find a drill bit that small maybe try heating up a paperclip, or using a dead air core motor shaft taken out of the motor and melting a hole in the epoxy.

How do you get into the dashboard and cluster on an Aztec? Saw one in the yard, but no obvious screw holes ...
