MR2OC has translated the method, but it requires a lot of work to put this job of as we are finding

Optitron gauges from a Camry apparently - all new Toyota and Lexus vehicles above poverty spec have gauges like this now. There's an Optitron TRD gauge for the Aristo too: http://www.trdparts.jp/english/parts_fu ... meter.html

I bought a LS400 for a few hundred squid a few years ago for a V8 conversion but sold it on as it was far too much work for me.

Only half the dash worked tho which is quite common on them but if you can get a set of clocks, try n check them first as its costly to fix.

The dash failure is less common on the MK4 with the VVTi variant of the engine, which is what I'm keeping an eye out for. But thanks for the warning :thumleft:
