w126 tach in a w123?
 

Okay, in my quest for a tach in my euro 300TD (and I've gotten some good advise from my other thread: http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/diesel-discussion/200385-gasser-tach-diesel.html), I accidentally bought a gauge cluster for a 300sd w126 body (I think an '81). The guy said he'll refund my money if I don't want it since he mistakenly advertised it for a 300D.

I realise the cluster itself may not fit in my TD, but I was wondering if I took the tach/clock out of the cluster, would it fit in my cluster? Anyone know for sure?

If noone knows, I'll just buy it and if it doesn't fit, I'll have a w126 gauge cluster for sale :)

Thanks for the help,

The gauge itself should be able to bolt in to your cluster, just make sure it has the correct plug in, in the back.

Oh good, that's what I was hoping for. IIts an early gauge so I think it's the two prong connector...doesn't really matter either way, I need the wire that goes from the gauge to the amp too :)

Thanks,

That will be the trick, good luck.
