Hi I have confirmed this, my red warning symbols are bright. I guess I’ll be using the instructions in this thread, nervous though as I have only thumbs and left hands and am likely to bread something! Thank you for the help.
what are the 3 holes behind this mystery tape? do the 3 holes have any use?
Can anyone help with any thoughts on why a previous owner taped up these three(3) holes?
or what those three holes are used for?
please see below photo of a 1980 instrument cluster i found on the web.
In this picture the three (3) holes are not "cut."
On my actual instrument cluster the holes were cut and taped over with the light green tape.
Shine a light through the holes and see what is visible on the instrument front. Looks like extra space for an instrument, like the three nuts on top in your picture.
What does your cluster look like from the front? Does it have a fuel consumption indicator (like below)? I'm assuming your car is a euro as I don't think it was on US cars.

This is what my 1980 instrument cluster looks like from the Front.
Also, can anyone recommend where to get an Instrument Cluster Mounting Plate for a 1980 (5 speed)?
