the fitting of a six dial dash is easy peasy. you need to run a wire from your coil to connect to the rev counter, and you need to fit a oil pressure sender/switch assy and then run a second wire for the oil gauge. the haynes book wiring diagrams will help a lot.

If your merit is a 1.2 4 speed, then the diff is the same ratio as the GTE so use the GTE dash, If you have fitted a different box ie. from an sr then use that dash.

Cheers MOWGLI

What gearbox you run decides what speedo you use
