Hi,

Is it possible to purchase the 12-way connector that plugs into the back of an offset instrument cluster (1973 1275GT)?

Thanks in advance...

I've never found new ones for sale. Breakers yards would be your best bet.
Might be worth contacting http://www.mini-metro.co.uk/ , they break a lot of minis.
