Cluster options of 96 CX Hatchback?

I had an 97 EX cluster that I bought from eBay. Problem is that my son played with the needle on the fuel and temperature needle and broke the needle and looks like the motors also. I tried to fix the needle on both gauges. However, after installing on the car, both gauges did not work.
So... Am I really stuck with just an EX cluster if I wanted a tachometer? Are there other clusters which would be just plug and play on a 96 CX Hatchback?
Thanks!

If you want a tachometer there is the Si cluster, 97-01 CRV cluster, CTR cluster, Spoon cluster, Mugen cluster, SIR cluster, canadian 1.6 EL cluster, and a few others I can't remember. All plug and play.

I went the CTR route... only thing w/ the CTR cluster is you have to do a little wiring if you want it to dim.

Just buy a new temp/fuel gauge from Honda. Probably won't cost more than $30.

Tried it w/ my CX cluster and the screw holes didn't line up. It may work w/ others but it wont for the CX.

Thanks!
