Am I right in saying later sr clocks will still fit a mk1?
As in later clocks with the white ring in the speedo and rev counter, in a mk1 dashboard with no cutting or anything like that.
I'll have to wire to the coil for rev counter but is there anything else I should know?
The mk2 clocks are different as in they have tabs either side and one at the top which would have to be cut off. Also the plug on the mk2 is a 14 pin as the mk1 is 12 so you would need to cut the mk1 off and wire in the mk2.
Doesnt sound too complicated to do then, Thanks for the info.
The clear dial cover on the Mk2 has a plastic ridge running along the bottom which won't fit the Mk1 dash space, can't remember if this clips off or if it's glued on though
massive ebay pics to show the difference, I know these are both poverty spec dials but shows the shape and the clips

Thats also good to know, cutting those off wont be a problem :)
Its the wiring that Im worried about. Is the mk2 14 pin plug the same wiring as the mk1 12 pin plug just with 2 extra contacts at the bottom?
Does anyone have a diargram for both?
Iam Sure it is. Just connect colour to colour i would of thought might be wrong though lol.
Best bet is to get the plug to match the dials, then chop the plug onto your existing loom - the colours are almost like for like (the only real difference is the indicator colours) but they do move position on the plugs, so jamming a Mk1 plug into Mk2 dials won't work.
The extra 2 pins on the Mk2 are for rev counter and a blank pin. Might be for EML in an injection engine? I don't have a Haynes any more and when I did this I seem to remember only looking at the non-injection looms.

I have a haynes, it was the first thing I bought :)
That will have the pin-out in it?
Edit:
Now I've replied I can see the diagram you posted whereas for some reason wasnt displayed before. Cheers I'll save that for later.
One last question, If I get mk1 clocks as I hope to do, where does the wire from the coil go to on the clocks for the rev counter?
Been a long time since I have messed about with clocks but there should be a spare slot in the plug for the green wire. Biggest problem I found with changing clocks was sometimes with certain clocks the alternator wouldnt charge .
There's a female spade terminal on the back of the rev counter, to the right of the multi plug in this pic:Quote:
