The 520 guts should fit into the 411 housing. Scrape the green plastic conformal coating off the copper traces on either side of the crack. Tin and solder on 2 jumpers, preferable not solid wire but braided wire, say 20 gauge across the crack and if possible epoxy a piece of printed circuit perforated board [sold by radio shack for science fair kit building] across the crack. The perforations will bond to the epoxy and the motherboard and forn a repair at least as strong as the original motherboard, which after all did crack. An alternative is to remove the speedometer and 2 gauges from the 520 and do a heart transplant into the 411 motherboard. Might not be easier, but you know that the board will fit. The 411 motherboard has a voltage regulator, not sure if the 520 has one without digging into my reference materials which are safely locked in my tool box. Good luck, wish you were closer.

get some wire and some solder and some flux and should work OK.

 

flux will help a ton; I prefer liquid. also try to get some thin (like 18-20g wire thin) rosin core solder, it spreads much nicer than strait solder and makes the job alot easier
