Can anyone tell me if the A9X had a different gauge setup to std SLR?
I sent a set off to be restored that I had purchased and they contacted me saying it is a genuine A9X cluster.

No, it would be date coded (late 1977) only, but would need to have park brake light in it.

The late LX SLR's had the same cluster. 

The park brake lamp isn't a A9X only thing.

Ok thanks guys. So generally speaking there is no way of knowing if a gauge cluster is from an A9X.
I was just concerned because it's going in a mockup and if it was a genuine A9X cluster I'd rather see it used in a genuine one if it could be.
Mind you if I could own an A9X to put it in would be better.
