No you will need the fuel and temp gauge from a tacho dash, they are different sizes. You will also need the plastic PCB as it is different for the tacho. Might be easiest to get a compete tacho dash and then sell yours.

What he says except you can fit a complete tacho in a non-tacho dash if you can make a connector for it (not easy unless the tacho comes with it). I think I mentioned in another thread that on vehicles without tachos, the signal wire is often incomplete and you may therefore need to run a cable back to front to make it work.

I had a complete diesel tacho a while back (mines a petrol) but swapped it for a petrol one. Hope he's has happy as I am.
