Nope it wasn't, it was for an '85 240T, and I also did one for an '84 for a friend of mine. I am planning to do an install in my '88 but I'll be replacing the gauges with VDO vision series. They make a speedo and tach that will fit the R-Sport holes. Wiring is the main issue, it took several hours with multimeter and test light to figure out the wiring for the earlier cars, haven't started working on the wiring for the later conversion. It's not a project for the faint hearted or wiring challenged. There is also an adapter that must be fashoned from aluminum stock or something similar.
Cheers
