Re: Two Headed 827

Thanks to many people's generous help, 6 dial to 4 dial counter swap is done well. When putting it back, I noticed that some of the light bulbs on heater/ventilation panel, next to the 4 dials counter are dead. The bulbs are tightly sitting in those plastic multi connector and I don't know how to re...

Re: Two Headed 827

I have to confess that I didn't try it on street. :oops:
Jack up the front (err, the one with modded transducer), engage gear while engine running and checked if the speedo works or not.
So, it may not be accurate but hey speedo's MOT tolerance is +/- 15% or so anyway!

Thank you both for the explanation.

I though replacing the 3 pin connector on the newer transducer to the old one was simple but, as I guessed, the colour code of the wires are different :mrgreen: Old one : U(blue) / B(black) / R(red) Newer one : LGY(light green & yellow) / B...
