Default XR3i and S2 Turbo clocks the same?

I needed some new clocks for my 88 RS S2, sound some in an XR3i Cab so put them in as my rev counter didnt work.

Upon watching them to make sure all was ok, I noticed the fuel guage is on the left and temp on the right. The Guages I took out the car (which had awful metal effect faces) had the fuel on the right and the temp on the left.

Fuel seems to register a bit more than the old ones, but the old ones may have been out of whack if they'd been fiddled with,
Temp guage works.

Question is, are there any important differences? The rears look different or I would have made one from 2.

The XR31 clocks have soldered pins for the fuel, temp and rev counter, the ones that came out didnt, just PCB ribbon.

What is the correct style for a 88 RS?
Were the clocks in it later 90 spec?

Cheers,
Stu

the 88 spec clocks and the 90 spec were different, also EFI ones and MFI ones, but they should work without a problem, only issue you should have is if u use EFI ones, your rev counter will not read right 90 spec have temp on the right, and 88 spec on the left, also the 90 spec, the lights across the top are big and 88 are little squares.
