Its simple, theres only 4 wires.

blue/yellow-Oil pressure
black-Ign 12v
brown-Earth
grey/black-Illumination bulbs

Ive got a set to fit into mine. You need a twin pin oil pressure sender

You need to cut every thing out the way so get a spare centre vents bit and a hazard light switch.
You will need to cut the centre vents out untill the clocks will fit in.you will also need to trim a bit off the bottom of the hazard switch or it wont work.
Ive fixed the suround for the diles in with some screws that are out of site.
Hope that helps
