hello people ..
anyone know how hard it is to fit 3 dial with rev counter to a 2 dial dashboard .. will it just connect up .. and what extra wiring to did i need to get the tacho working

thanks again

im pretty sure its a fairly easy swap.
obviously you would need the three new dials. the brackets that attatch to the bulkhead are the same i think.
wiring wise it should be as simple as plug in.

where would i get a 3 dial?

Classifieds 'n bay of E are probably the best option. Apart from scrappers people do replace them with centre instruments for a retro look.

You might even get away with mounting an after market rev counter if you have a full length dash instead of an instrument pod.

will probably fit one of these eventually so might be possible.... thanks for the reply.

Depending on the year of the car, it will have wiring already installed for a 3 clock cluster,the rev counter wires hang below the dash below the speedo, its a little white wire with a black tracer, terminating in a bullet connector, and also a second wire which i belive is white, and is a female spade connector, these push onto the 3 cluster rev counter from any rover and your good to go.

Looks very smart!
yeah its gona have the wiring already installed in the loom, all you need to do is track it down, it will be tucked under the dash beside the indicator flasher( below air vent drivers side)
