Hi all not sure if there called "clocks" but anyway, what it is my dad has a 84 mayfair and has one of the old mk1 clocks, the center one. He told me to come on and ask how hard it would be to put it in his mini. Anyone done it before?

Cheers

yes i guess you can chop the wires apart and join them to the new clock

but its a lot of wiring and different colour codes

and moss is a mini parts supplyer :smartass:

you will also need to change the speedo take off ratio in the gearbox as the clocks have a different turns per mile figure

But this is something I'm trying to work out at the moment, as to what worm & pinion combination you need for what diff with what wheels and which speedo, so it get at least close....

But getting the info on the different speedo TPM's is intersting

I believe so, if you're talking about changing from centre to 2 dial dashes.
