I didn't even understand that!  :grin:

I get what clocks yours had, sh*t ones, are you looking to put MK1 GTI clocks in and make them work with your engine?

mk1 gti clocks (with the rpm counter) is a straight swap. just connect the red/black wire in the engine bay to your coil (or what ever produces the signal for the tach.)

Not sure how straightforward that is considering it's a 20vt???
