Awesome! *goes looking for Dattodude's website*

Are the tacho loop wires definately there? I couldn't find them.

The looms contain the same wires, but you will need to swap some pins around in the round plug that goes into the dash.

From memory I think Dattodude had a picture on swapping the pins on one of his websites

Was there a round speedo dash that didn't have a tacho? cause my loom doesn't appear to have the right gear in it. Also as Tyrie said - the large round connector appears to have totally different pinouts.

I'll probably have to put it all back & get an aftermarket tacho now goddamnit!

crap! I hope the looms are interchangable - I don't have a coupe loom!

edit: the wiring FAQ states that the loom in non-tacho cars has the loop for the factory tacho - so in theory it's the same loom?

anyone confirm?

this has obviously answered my tacho question

knobs are secured the same way as a lightbulb (push and turn to remove)

also about the cluster change, does the loom have to be changed too? I put the original back in my ute (strip speedo) and the switches/lights did all the wrong things.

Hey all,

just trying to switch instrument clusters to fit the coupe cluster into my perfect stock sedan dash - but I'm stuck as the bloody wiper switch won't come off!!

the headlight one just fell off pretty much but the wiper one is on tight - do I just pull harder on it or is there a trick to it? it's just the knob on the end that's giving me grief btw - I know to undo the actual switch itself.

Also question 2 - when I retrofit the coupe cluster in - is the black wire on the back of the tacho the one to wire to the coil?

Cheers
Ash
