Is this twin or single plug speedo's??
« on: 18 March 2009, 14:04 »


From what I remember, it doesn't look the same as mine, from when I took mine off, but I didn't take that much notice. The guy said they're off a K-Jet model too, which is late 80's?? Which means it'll be single plug right??

Does it refer to the black and white plugs at the bottom?? 'cause from what I remember, mine had two plugs going into it, the hose bit that connects to the black circle in the middle, and something that connected towards the right side (looking at that pic ^^^^^) but it connected to something that looked more like the black plug at the bottom of that pic ^^^ it's a '91 Digi, so would that make it a single plug??

So mine would be single if it only had the hose (MFA I'm assuming) and one of the pin connector type ones?? Thanx for your help man

They didn't make any Digi 16v's?? Didn't know that. Well I have 160mph clocks in mine at the moment...does that mean it'll definitely be twin plug??

If you have the hazard switch on the steering column, then you have single plugs. Otherwise you have double plugs, and the clocks in the picture you posted (http://i20.ebayimg.com/08/i/001/2e/71/85e5_1.JPG) will fit, as they are double plug clocks..


A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.

OK, I'm sorry about this, I'm sure I'm annoying a couple of you now  :cry: :cry: haha but I'm really confused. I have the hazards on top of my steering column, but I also have 160mph clocks in, I'm 90% sure, single plug
