Hi Guys, is there any difference between the MK1 1600 GT and 1600 XL instrument clusters?

Also does anybody have one for sale?
Thanks

I do have a 1600GT instrument cluster which has speedo, tacho, oil pressure, volts, temp & fuel guage not sure what it is worth but I am sure we could work something out.

Maybe I should have also asked this question first.
What is involed in converting a deluxe instrument cluster to fitting a GT / XL cluster?
Is it a straight forward swap?

Is the wiring loom the same etc? ie did they use the same loom for a deluxe and a GT/XL?
I understand I would have to fit oil pressure sender. (Does anybody know what part number to order for a VDO or similar sender)
Is the temp sender the same?
Form memory (years ago) the tacho used to run of a looped wire in the back from feed from the coil.
I appreciate any help.

You will probably have to add wires for the voltmeter, tacho and extra lighting. The oil pressure guage is mechanical and will need a take off from an oil gallery. Kits are available for this.
Simple and straightforward?
Get a wiring diagram from the factory manual and expand it to a3 size then study it till you understand what's going on then color in the wires that need adding.
