    HX GTS dash info how to identify one

    I am on the hunt for a decent HX GTS dash for my Jan '77 Sandman.
    I will be off to the Ballarat swap meet and dont want to come home with something that is wrong.
    I have seen the thread about the dash fascia vs the re pro ones which is very helpful.
    What I want to know is ..
    Is there a difference between the HJ and HX speedo.
    All I know is they are a white needled dash
    Did the HJ speedo have 6 tumblers in the odometer and the HX have 7 or anything like that ?
    If I remember correctly the LH Torana had one less tumbler than the later LX and was curious if the larger cars did the same thing.
    Should I put an add in the wanted section on here
    i.e does any one want to sell me one?

    HX has the white needle speedo with the high beam indicator as a blue light in it.
    The red lights on the facia are different to the HJ without the high beam lettering.
    It will have the center outlet for the vent as they all had forced air ventilation.
    The speedo will have 6 digits....999999km.

    HX speedo ... I'll probably be going to the Ballarat swap if you want to meet up and look for a correct dash.
