sure ive got a spare ukdm el dial set up with control box and dash loom

is it just the control box and the short loom that goes from that to the speedo/rev dial that you need?

i can get you the control box - not sure what you have to do to the loom or if you need the uk el dial dash loom

there is also a relay box thing that sits behind the dash cluster - i think there is a difference between the relay in preface (non-el dial) and facelift so depends on what you have in there already - you will also need a dimmer switch - i have one of these somewhere
to further complicate things yours in 2 litre and not a 2.2 vtec so there might be other differences.
im sure some others have done the el dial conversion in preface ludes so hopefully they can help out
newkid & Vtecmec might have some knowledge on this

Done a full write up on this in my build thread with as many detailed pics as I could. Have a look and any issues give me a shout. Sure some of the wiser and elderly gurus will have tips and hints also.

Really all you need is the silver control box, though it would be considerably easier to also get the full dash loom.

The dimmer switch stuff is a nice feature, but not necessary as the dimming when the lights go on is integral to the clocks.

I went from auto JDM preface to manual UK EL's with just the clocks and the silver cluster box.

ive dug out the spare silver control box for you - i do have a few more so there will be no charge for that other than cost of postage.
i have 2 dash looms one is a very good condition facelift ukdm loom and the other is a preface BB1 vtec loom i think.
id rather keep or sell the ukdm loom as it looks like new and would go with the full el dial set up i have here - but id be happy to let the preface vtec loom go for just a few pennies.
Can get you some pics if you want
