Default AU series 1 instrument cluster

The LED display for the odometer on my instument cluster has faded. I can read it at night but not in direct sunlight. I called Ford for a new part but they said it was discontinued and I should try a wreckers.
I have a '99 Fairmont AU Series 1 (the one everyone called ugly). It was converted to gas by IMPCO (through Binks in Melbourne) with the fuel readout linked to the fuel gauge for either gas or petrol depending on which i am using.
So, I was wondering if the instrument cluster is the same for the series 1 as for series 2 or 3 (therefore I can grab any cluster). And especially considering the gas is linked to the fuel gauge will it continue to work? the way I see it the cluster should act like a dumb terminal, like a computer screen showing the information, but I may be very wrong. Any advice on where to find an instrument cluster or pitfalls to watch out for would be appreciated.
This forum is fantastic.
