Centre / gauge console unit fit and wiring Options

[dt4]

Sorry for the continuous questions but there is little by way of information over this side of the pond
I have been putting the console together and when I compared the gauge wiring harness to the wiring in the car there isn’t anything I can see that matches
The car is a 75 1.8
Should the wiring be part of the harness at the dash end or engine end?
Also the fit is way off
The side panel is up against the accelerator pedal and the heater lever is no where near fitting through
Photos to illustrate
Thank you

Check the for sale threads and eBay for the parts you need. I found my heater lever on eBay for like $30 about a year ago.

Yes, the wires for the center console gauges do fit into the white plugs. It's just spade connectors with a plastic sleeve. The male connector is in the plastic sleeve, and the female end is the wires from the gauges. Just push the female connector into the opening and onto the male connector. The brown wire with the round connector attaches to the defroster light (plastic square next to the heater lever).

As far as the upper u bracket that connects to the dash, my console was missing that as well. I never installed one. I haven't had any issues with the console moving. It's a snug fit.
