If they dont work but they did in the rs then just swap the pins over for fuel and temp job done.

The pins are identical on both early (fuel on right) and late (fuel on left) clocks.

The difference was purely for telling the fuel level without the ignition turned on. The sender in the tank is different as well as the later ones have a ballast in them to help prevent fuel surge giving inaccurate readings.
