Got the remains of a driver set here, they have a rev counter and they are single plug ones.

no bulbs or speedo but could be made to work. The rev counter works on it.

Right iv found a set in a scrappy, but before theyre removed from the car is there a way to tell if they are single plug to save me some time if theyre not, its a H reg but i cant tell via were the hazards switch is because theres no steering wheel column and the dash buttons have mostly been removed, is there any other way to check?

take dash undertray off and you can see bottom of plugs, also check the header tank if its round then they're 1 plug clocks
