im thinking of getting a RS Dash-gauges for my replica sundowner which already has the correct Sundowner-Rally pack gauges, does the harness from these dash fit the RS ones or do you need the correct RS harness to make all gauges work?
 
i do know i need a oil pressure gauge pipe to make the oil gauge work and can sauce a new one from england
 
also ive just bought some new falcon replica chrome spotlight and NOS Escort spot light brackets , im looking at wiring it up to make it look as stock as possible,and i want a light on the dash to remind me they are on like the highbeam, my question is what are the RS ignition lights? starting from the left, i know far left is the blinker then is it (high beam or spotlight?) is the one with RS highbeam or something else? then power then right blinker
 
 
cheers in advance

The tacho dash pins are in the wrong places for an RS dash but it's not a hard job to switch the contacts in the connectors around.

thanks mate
 
 
according to these pic's below that i got from a uk escort site, the rallypack ghia dash wiring has a fair few differences between the RS dash,
 
these pic's are from a uk site and ive compared the rally-ghia harness i have to the one on the pic but all the colours are different, guess they used different colour code to aus
 
would any one have the correct dash harness for a RS for sale?

You get that with colours. It still only takes about five minutes to convert a Ghia/Tacho dash harness to RS layout though, regardless of the difference in wiring colour. Not worth spending money on buying one.
