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.

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.
