Default anyone done a 1.7 puma into a fiesta

just a couple of questions really

me and my mate have just done our 2nd one

this one went to plan as we had the correct parts etc

the 1st one we used a late puma engine with digital clocks

now we or i had to use the complete puma car loom, as it was almost the same

my question is, the fiesta doesnt run abs or traction control, so how do i go about turning the lights off on the digital dash, is it a case of opening the unit up and snipping what i think may be leds?

has anyone done this useing a digital clock into an anlogue car, mk4 shape not zetec-s shape

any ideas

thanks

ps if this is the wrong room please move

Don't attack them from the front. Im sure there is space at the back of the dials to get at them. Ive got a spare set at home so ill have a look when i get back in.
