Difference in GTE/GSi dash clocks.

[Leeboo]

Did all Nova gte's come with the 6-dial black dash clocks? And did all gsi's have the same dash clocks, except with the two battery and oil pressure slots as lights instead of needles as per gte?

Or did the two different types overlap anywhere on the two models. As I am aware the plugs are different between MK1 and MK2.

Thanks in advance.

mk2 clocks have tabs on them that stick out to fix them in, mk1 clocks don't

I thought the clocks were the same, just the styling as mk2 instead of mk1.

The ones that were changed (cheapened) were the SR clocks, changed to lights instead of gauges for iol pressure and voltage.

And as said above, the fitting etc is different

Double post

Cheers for replies! Hmm, I'm sure there was the two different types as I did have the black dash clocks with lights for batt/oil n my old mk2 Nova. I understand those to be from a GSi. But any GTE I've seen has the needles for batt/oil instead. Styling is the same otherwise. Wondering did the two types of clocks overlap between models as I don't want to end up with the wrong ones for my 1988 GTE.

Anyone else shed light on this?

GTE have the oil and volt gauges.

As above, and you can identify GTE clocks aside from SR 6 dial clocks as they have a low fuel warning light

Yes. Basically wondering though did any late GTE's come with the lights or did any early GSi's come with the gauges. In which case I could end up with the wrong plug/fitment.

I guess they probably didn't overlap though.

Thanks will keep that in mind!

i have some gsi clocks in my shed and they have needles rather than lights, cant comment on GTE items though as im using sport ones in my mk1.
