MX6 is a GA5R too.
I'm starting to collect them from my other forum.
Might have a couple spare soon . . . .

I got a 626 instrument unit, removed the GA5R speedo from it, and it just dropped in to the Bongo instrument cluster. Reads Miles / MPH very accurately compared to my GPS. You can't fit the whole 626 binnacle in though.

Triple/R wrote: No probs Paul i'm sure we can sort it~did you get the clear plastic front that covers the dials cus sometimes the trip button (on your new one) is thicker & wont go through the hole so you have to make hole bigger with a slightly bigger drill bit or summat similar.
or just swap the Bongo trip button over it's only one screw if I remember right

It's thanks to you Max for spotting this in the first place that people like me (useless with electrics) can do job's like these~but will probably take me more than ten minutes~but whats the rush as long as result is same

Hi Ray / Max,
Sounds like you both know what you are doing so i will bring the whole thing to Tackeroo as it is the complete cluster and when i get back from fetching the wood it will all be done !!
