Was rebuilding my odometer gear, when I noticed on circuit board there are moose etched in solder.


Sorry, no pics at the moment, lost sync cable

Anyone else seen this,

It puts new life on prancing moose story we have all heard.

Makes one wonder, how the moose really got started.

I have done a few odometers and I guess either did not notice or not all have it.

Nice picture,

So How do we find out where this originated? Definitely strange at the least.

ohwhatthehell....i was telling people about this like, a year ago lol. I took pictures but never posted them up though.... :rolleyes: I flipped out when I saw it though, it's really cool!

I was trying to use an n/a cluster for my turbo car to get rid of the boost gauge, but the circuit boards are different, as well as the orientation of the needle...motors??...pots?? idk what they're called lol.

LMAO :)

That's how I discovered it. Switching around instrument turbo clusters with Na to get rid of boost gauge.
I had to switch my odometer in and a few other adjustments to use the Na cluster.
