I have a 1989 1.8cvh Sierra with the dash cluster that has no tachometer and I have gotten my hands on another cluster from a left hand drive car before I go repin my plug and cut it for the new clocks will the Speedo work with the cable at the other side as it seems to have bend on it from hitting off the heater ducting behind the dash…and is it just a case of joining into green wire on ignition coil to get tachometer working
thanks in advance

Speedometer on opposite side

Going to take a wild stab at this and say...if you were putting them into a left hand drive car it probably would work as the bulkhead configuration might allow it due to cable lengths etc.

I'd also note that alot of parts are LHD specific, I bet search for speedo cables would give you a clue.

Personally I'd hold out for a set of (but they aint cheap anymore) RHD clocks

*Just looked on GGR and they do list LHD & RHD cables separately

I redirected the cable and got it working should I proceed to modify the plug as there’s no going back then…

Thats good then.

How about making a temp link loom before committing to chopping the plug off.

And that’s the kind of ideas I came on here hoping for I might try that! Thank you

No worries, let me know how you get on.

If it works you could source some plugs and make the link harness permanent then no worries if you need to remove them later on.

Sierras R Us might be able to help you out with something like that or auto dynamics??
