I need to replace my pcb and have been looking at the cluster master kit from campervan culture as well as the gowesty PCB.
One is half the price of the other so is it worth the extra money for the gowesty PCB?
I don't know enough about electrics to make an informed decision so any advice would be appreciated.

Re: Dash PCB options?
Gowesty kit is a redesigned custom PCB, while the south african ClusterMaster is just a wire repro of the factory blue foil with a small PCB containing all the factory passive elements (resistors, diodes)
third option is a DIY kit from CJH

either works similar

The kit from CJH is great. Did mine last year and really easy. If you can’t use a soldering iron CJH will build one for you

Re: Dash PCB options?
Thanks for the response.
I have tried contacting CJH a couple of times but I know he posted recently that he has not been on here much and I don't want to pester the guy.
I'd love one of his kits though...
Otherwise, the next cheapest is the Cluster master kit so I now have a plan B!

I used a cluster master and it’s great. Really easy installation and so far, reliable.

Re: Dash PCB options?
I ended up getting the cluster master kit from campervan culture, it was easy to fit even by an electrical dunce like me and works a treat.
As cjh appears to have gone to ground (pity as he looks like he has done some great work, just hope he is ok), it was the next cheapest option.
