Ive had a good search but cant seem to find the thread with the how to guide on how to convert from an offset speedo binacle to a central oval binnacle.

Does anybody know what to sewarch for or can remember who did it?

many thanks in advance

Ive done it, just search on here, and theres loads of threads on how to do it.

Abit of advice, dont buy the Minispares conversion loom, as the bulb holders are ****! Even with genuine Lucas bulbs they would simply not hold the bulbs in, so I had to buy a set of new holders which take 501's. Would have got a refund on it and got a different loom, but got it for a christmas pressie

A few usefull threads there

i did the conversion on my clubby estate, i was lucky as the central speedo i got had the loom still on the back, all the wires joined together colour perfect, with the exception of the indicator wires, which were 2 pairs of wires from car loom, into 1 set on the speedo loom, all work sweet as, even the fuel gauge (but when travelling forward, the petrol gauge goes down, i presume this is due to the fact the tank is very long and flat, which means the momentum of travel makes the fuel rush to the back of the tank making the gauge go down?)

cheers peeps, looks like this is the first job il be doing on the inside. i pressume you dont need to remove the windscreen out to take the upper dash rail pad out?

Nope but be prepared for it not to be fully painted! Mine is grey across most of it.
