tachometer frustration

Hello All,

I was going to take the tachometer from my w123 300TD wagon and install it in my w123 300D non Turbo euro import sedan.

The sedan doesn't have any of the hardware for the tach but it's okay because I was going to switch everything from the wagon.

The first thing I tried to do was remove the sensor from the front of the wagon's engine and this is as far as I got. I can't figure out how the bracket is held onto the engine.

There are some large 24mm? bolts that may be holding the bracket in place? But there is at least 1 small maybe 6mm hole that looks like it's maybe for an hex key but it looks like it has threads so I'm not sure.

But before I go any further, does anyone know if the tach's from turbos are compatible with non-turbos?

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
