Per,

When you say "they" mount from the rear with screws, are you referring to
the face and lens assembly?  Also, with 201,610 miles, maybe I'd be better
off with someone else's miles...   (Wish it were that easy to turn back the
clock...)  :-)

Brent,

If you find a nice one in a junkyard, you can remove the instruments from
your
cluster and set them up in the replacement cluster. That way you'll keep
your
mileage. They mount with a number of screws on the rear side.
