i was thinking about doing that with my tacho, was it hard, what did u have to cut out ect ect

My clock didn't work, which was fine, because I have (had  ) a watch and a cellphone. Then one magical day I heard a ticking noise when I was parked up. Lo and behold it had started to work! But it was losing 10 minutes a day. This was worse than it not going! Luckily my mate at Repco showed me this awesome tacho that hard everything I wanted, decent construction, not monster size tacho with an internal (and external) shift light that only cost $50 on staff.
To actually answer your question I had to disassemble the dash, take out the pointy bit of perspex, unscrew lots of screws from the clock mechanism, cut A LITTLE off the green backing to the instruments and slot the tacho in, toight as a tiger. No it wasn't hard with the workshop manual and my cousin, neither of us are overly mechanically inclined. I am good at taking shit apart and fixing it back up though. Should be a piece of piss!
