Default Rev Counter

This might be a stupid question...

but does anyone know if it's possible to put a rev counter from say, a mk3 fiesta RS Turbo into a normal, stock mk3 fiesta?

Usually do able by changing clock set, sometimes have to jiggle a few wires too.

So other than that, it would just be a straight port?

Thanks for the reply.

Just swap the whole cluster over to one with a rev counter. Pretty sure all fiestas above LX model had them.

Highly likely all the wiring is already there, so it should just be a plug and play job

change the full cluster and their needs to be 1 wire running from the coil to the counter, when you get the new clocks cut the loom off so you can identify the wire.
