   You`ll need to find the correct pin number on the ecu then run a wire from it to the rev counter mate.

   steve - can you confirm (or deny!) on the 3 plug cars you don't need to do that? I'm under the impression the cars with two connectors on the speedo cluster are all interchangable and the wiring is in place to run all the dials - ie, a 2002 poverty spec 1.1 can fit a vts cluster and it will magically "work"?

   oh lol. Don't know if you know then, but the early clocks have three plugs, and the later ones have two. I *thought* all cars with clocks that were two plug could be swapped around no fuss - the cars wiring was all in place just "not connected". Bit like the poverty spec cars wiring actually has the loom for electric windows etc.
   
   Early clocks:
   
   
   late clocks:
   
   
   I'm not 100% sure so hopefully someone else will chime in and let me know. Useful little titbit to know that would be

   Then you have the early dials, and it's possible that you don't have the rev counter wiring in place already, so as mentioned above in the thread, you may need to do that bit yourself.
