fitting a better dash

I have a TF (with speedo, fuel, temp and frigging vacuum guage) and I picked up a TG one with the lot (speedo, tacho, fuel, temp, oil, voltemeter) can anyone give me a few pointers as to what stuff ill need to fit it into my car (the tacho itself just goes straight in, but im sure ill need stuff to make the voltmeter, oil and tacho work)

I had a browse through some old posts but nothing grabbed me in terms of helpfulness

thanks

the tacho wiring is built in to the wiring harness so plug it in and all ur gauges will work except the oil pressure. for that u will need to install a oil pressure gauge sender unit

You might find that the wiring harnesses are different. I am currently fitting a tacho in place of vaccum guage, and the te and tf wiring harnesses are completely different ( if my te tacho don't go into the TF dash...
