If youre using a speedo pulse adjuster and a programmable RPM from your ECU then you can fit the ST170 guage faces if you want a change.

The white plastic casing the focus and cougar dash electrics fit in is from the same tooling. Only the black front lens piece is different.

You would need to swap around a few of the warning lamps as there are slight differences on the dial face printing, and youd need to either wire up a spare warning lamp as a fuel low light or cut a hole in the face to show through. Also need to cut a hole for the cougars LCD screen on the rev counter that the ST170 doesnt have. also need a 12v EL AC module to run the glowing dial faces.

The RPM scale is slightly out but on an adjustable ECU, easily fixable. use the speedo pulse adjuster to give you an accurate 160mph speedo. Also as youre using an aftermarket ECU you should loose the fuel computer functions as the dash doesnt have the fuel flow information from the ECU.

Im fitting a cougar dash with St170 faces to my puma once ive done some testing and built a loom for it.
after talking to the tech department the speedo healer will work on anything. Its marketed for bikes but kit car builders and engine transplants have used them with success. My only problem is my RPM signal isnt adjustable. Its fed from the EDIS module so I cant do anything with it. I guess I was lucky that the RPM guage was spot on with the megasquirt reading.
