Random clock question
Bit of a random one this, I also apologise in advance if this thread is in the wrong section.
Anyway, does a escort cosworth and escort XR3i/RS2000 (mk.5) have the same plug connector which plugs in to the back of the clocks? (speedo, rev counter, etc)
I know they are diffrent clocks, just want to know if I could plug XR3i clocks in to my cossie basicly? Or would I have to cut a bit of the XR3i's loom out and wire it in to the cossie?

I should explain as I knew the question 'why' would pop up, .
My cossie clocks have stopped glowing in the dark, lol.
So Im installing a stack style dash myself. The way Im doing this requires me to chop up the clocks as Im keeping the original rev counter and fuel gauge (Im taking pics as I go along and will post a full 'how I did it' thread when done). I didnt want to butcher the cossie clocks, so I got a XR3i dash and did that instead. So I need to know if they will plug in to the cossie connector or will a bit of wire magic be needed, lol.

Wire magic may be needed mate.
but if they arnt lighting up correctly then you may just need to renew the inverter on the back of them

or failing that if you go via Rainbird - his electrical wizard man (Ben) can fit your stack into your surround with idiot lights etc and they will all plug directly into your main wiring harness with no plug chopping etc.

Cheers for the help people.
Im going to go with my new dash idea (its not an actial 'stack' unit but along those lines) as I think it looks great!
However Ill try and get the cossie clocks working again anyway.

if they have stopped glowing completely then the inverter has stopped working all you have to do is put a new inverter in. if you need help doing this let me know its an easy job.
