retro rev gage

[tom28]

hi all, recently brought some rs clocks off ebay but they dont have the plug for the back of the rev counter so sadly im gonna have to just get a rev gage for her, can anyone recommend any?

 

id like me rs clocks in but ive phoned everywhere for the plug but no luck

unless you can find out how its wired in a run a wire urself, i 'think' a wire goes from the ignition to the gauge back out to the coil if its the same as a mk1.

 

haynes manual should show you the loom. i only got mk1 manual's

there is a system for the wires colours etc,buy adding a wire in your plug that connect to the back I have the list somewhere will have a dig about or I`ll have alook on my van,will let you know asap if someone else doesnt first,

thats the kiddy well done mate

if you runing rs2000 clocks like me,

 

you dont need the oil light wire, so cut that off and plug it into the correct on on the rev counter, and in the engine bay put the other end that was a oil pressure switch onto the negative of the coil,

 

job done and no extra wires have been run.

 

 

just swap oil pressure 3 with green x and the rev counter is done.

 

although you need to change the rest for petrol engine temp etc.

so does that mean you then dont have an oil pressure warning light?

no light just a gauge like mk1 rs dash's

[texr2000]

but ideally wouldnt you want the oil pressure as well, or does it not work?

[rallyesport04]

but there is no oil pressure warning light to wire up to on a rs dash just a pressure gauge the only way to do it is make a external warning light an mount it else where

[texr2000]

no i mean if you use the wire that is there for the rev counter that leaves the (currently?) working oil pressure gauge not working, right?

 

but running one wire to the coil would allow both to work?

[rallyesport04]

the gauge is not electrical its mechanical it has a plastic pipe go from the block where the oil pressure switch would be to the gauge in the dash

oh i see the same as a mk1
