Can a 1275 3 Gague Cluster (Spedo, Temp/Fuel and Tacho) work on a 1977 Clubman?

What would I have to do to make it work?

Thanks Ian

Just a note, very early ones had a screw on speedo cable and later ones have a clip on cable.

On all the clubbie harnesses I have seen the tacho wire is normally already there. From memory it's white. If there's no tacho, they join the two bullet connectors together. To install a tacho, simply unplug and plug into the relevant connectors on the tacho.

Matching the speedo cable s Morris 1100 says is the important thing to watch.

the 3 guage cluster has a larger bracket to hold it in place thats bolted to the firewall, you'll need to swap that also.

yeah theres two different speedo cable types, the earlier screw on type and the later clip on type... thank god they're the same on the engine end though.
