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

does it just pop straight in. I can do that ok just had mine out to fit a mason. but mine reads mph but trip is kms

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.

Hi Ray,
I have just purchased one of those speedos (Just waiting for it to arrive) pretty much the same situ as you, i have a chip as well, maybe i could bring it along to Tackeroo2 and you could shout instructions at me as to how best to tackle the job
Or i could make the tea
See you soon mate
Paul.

or just swap the Bongo trip button over it's only one screw if I remember right

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 !!
