Is there much needed to get them to work? The current clocks just have speedo, petrol, temp and an analogue clock. As rs ones have rev counter wasnt sure if extra wiring needed or just a case of swapping wires about in the plug like a mk2 escort. Ta.

Wire swapping and proably a wire to the coil neg side to trigger the rev counter ? cant remember ever seeing a rev counter wire in a non RC loom but the looms did get more generic as production went on.

Cheers. Any idea which wires to swap? Easyest way is to get the Ghia/XR clocks with the plug and swap your wires about to match the new order in the XR plugs, later dashes had the temp and fuel gauges swapped over so you've need to know what dash was going in to start with ? |

Either way round fuel/temp gauges work in all model xr and rs/ghia models by the way, best way to do it is to cut the plug off a loom with a rev counter and match the colours up to yours then sent the spares where they need to go via the manual, or run a feed from your original plug to the coil by looking at the wiring diagram  |
