Rev Counters are not different at all, but thats besides the point.

No you can't fit the dials in becuase the circuitry on the back won't allow you to connect them up. I had this idea a while agon as well. You need a new Oil pressure sender as well for the pressure gauge. The voltmeter however can be removed and installed wherever you like as it only needs a + and - connection to work, for example I stuck mine above the fusebox. (gonna move it though)

im sure the rev counter on the TD only went up to 6000 while GTEs went to 7000

just get all the dial's from the gte/gsi and fit them still in the housing. no need to mess about then.
