Default gauge cluster questions....

car/cluster: 92 Honda Civic CX

i have this cluster that has the needle on the WRONG side of the zero pin is this fixable? can you just swing the ****** back around?

can you remove the needle and put it back without it ------ up the cluster or making it read inaccurately?

Your best bet is going to be buying a guage from the wreckers, taking it apart and putting it into your cluster.

I tried painting the needles on my cluster florescenet orange so it would illuminate at night... moved one of the needles and it never worked again. had to swap out the guage from a junker cluster into mine and it worked after that.

My old integra had this same exact problem from the -----tard b/f I owned it installing indiglo blue gauges.

The gauge is probably fucked...good luck.
