Nope, the shaft size on the AU is much larger than the E Series.

Tried this myself.

I bought a BA cluster to fit the needles to my EF cluster. I haven't tried yet, i'm guessing they won't fit though, lol

Ive done a bit of the homework for you guys here . I was looking at doing this about a year ago . Go to this website
http://cxjinhui.en.alibaba.com/product/ ... ision.html
They are one of the only companies i could find that manufacture speedo needles but the minimum

buy is 1000 and at 5 different size needles to suit thats 200 sets .
They do them in red ,white , yellow and blue in some cases.
Here is a pic of the ones i was looking at.

These are the sizes i was looking at .Daniel dan was pretty helpful from the website . just give him the dimensions of the needles you are after and make sure you get the size for the pin. Here are the sizes i gave him you will notice i have 1x and 2x to get 2 of a particular size and i stuffed up the pin dimension by having 2 13 and 2 15 pin size
