just to confirm the parts needed to get it up and running:
stalk with wiring upto control module
control module and wiring that goes to fuse box
module under the bonnet with wiring that joins on the inside of the car inc throttle cable,
am i right in thinking nothing else is needed apart from the brake switch to get it working?????????????
thanks

its a long time since i removed mine but i think you need the green adaptor plug for the back of the clocks.

Most E30s will already have the brake light switch already fitted - it works those two red lights on the rear! It's the clutch switch that's needed.
Green socket frame is nice to have for the instruments, but not essential. The electrical contacts are already there; the frame is just to locate the plug and keep it in place.

Everything you need is here - I used this to install mine and it works a treat. The clutch switch is the tricky bit (if you don't have correct bracket). PM me if you need help with this as I came up with a reliable and simple solution.
