need help again. i have a 94 sprite with the two clock instrument cluster but i want to fit the three clock cluster from a later sportspack, i dare say it wont just plug in and work but does anyone know if it is even do-able and what work would need to be done?

Bizarrely they do just plug in.

There's an extra couple of wires, a black and white and a green and something that plug into the back of the rev counter.

The mounting bracket is obviously wider for the 3 clock dash however.

bloody fantastic! i suppose the wiring diagram for the sportspack will tell me where the other wires need to go?

It should do yes, It's pretty simple when you get to it. Take the 2 clock one out and have a look

The MPi clocks have a different tacho that will read twice the RPM on anything other than the MPi

Didn't know that sprocket, will remember for the future

obviously the sprite doesn't have any wiring for a rev counter so i'll have to install my own, where should i take a pick up from?

the wire is there, just not used when they install the 2 clock clusters

have a dig around behind the dash, from memory its green and purple? but might b wrong, either way, its just a wire fromt he coil tot he tacho, so no biggie to replace with a new feed

All the wiring is there as I have done this conversion. You need not alter any wiring.

If your sprite doesnt have a 'dash' as such, you will need to replace the clocks mounting bracket also, other than that, its plug and play

fitted the instruments a while ago now. for anyone wishing to do this mod in the future i'll fill in some blanks... the wires were indeed hanging about behind the dash, they are a WHITE/BLACK with a female bullet connector (from the neg on the coil) and a LIGHT GREEN/ORANGE with a female spade connector (from the bulkhead fuse box). once plugged on the rev counter was up and running. today i finally got the engine fired up for the first time and as was already mentioned the revs were reading too high so i stripped the clocks apart to find this adjusting screw. i hunted everywhere and was about to give up when i noticed a small white plastic cam and figured this must be it. i drilled a hole into the side of the housing to poke my screwdriver through and built it all back up. using a timing light that gives a rev reading, i set the counter accordingly, then checked it stayed true throughout the rev range. and it really is that easy people. hope this helps some body somewhere.
