Hi guys,

I can;t do aa search as I can't search for "2" or "3" so....

I have a 1987 City E with a 2 pod set-up and am looking at a Clubman 3 pod set-up. Anyone know if it'll work? I've read a post saying that it was around 1986 when the extra connectors were included for a rev counter but can someone confirm this?

Cheers,
Andy

All the cars with the wiring for the 2 pod have got the extra 2 wires in the loom for the rev counter. Just make sure that the 1275gt clocks are the later ones, if they are the earlier ones you will have to do a couple of wiring mods to get them to work.

Cheers for the help Pete. I'm looking at these ones, do you think they would be OK?

Would these fit?

Cheers,
Andy

Yes if they come with the frame to attach it, or if your having a dash then it dont matter.

I think? andy means will these fit or are they the earlier ones that need a wiring mod?

These are two wires you should already have, green/orange spade - black/white bullet

On that link you gave above the rev counter looks like it has the bullet connector free but not sure whats with the spade connector, this could be what Pete was saying about wiring mods?

Cheers for the help guys. Kam's right I mean't will they work (I'm getting a new dash so fitting isnt a problem). I'll PM Pete and see if he knows!

Unless anyone else can help.....
