Is it possible to swap my 88 samurai's instrument panel that has just fuel/temp on the right hand round guage for the one with a rev counter? Crap quality Images of the ones I mean below :)

The top one looks like the 86-88 type and the bottom one 88 onwards. I believe the connections are the same but unsure about fitting in the dash. I believe the type which should be a swap for the non tacho is this. I assume the wire from the coil to the dash is fitted as standard ? Hopefully the lads can give better advice on swapping :thumbup:

can you post up a picture of the back of your instrument panel, I might have a spare one with a tacho that will fit.

Darrell there are two different sets of connectors used on the 413/samurai instrument panels, not sure if it's age related or the old jap/spanish thing but I have gone to swap some that looked identical on the front before but the connections didn't match on the back.

The speedo cable may also be different. The non rev counter jap sami i broke had the 90 degree screw on fitting on the rear of the speedo.

Cheers guys! Will have it off tomorrow when I change my cam belt & will take photos of the back, if you have one that fits my connector Scottie that would be 10/10 bud!
