TRD 300kph Electronic cluster in 1990 NA ADM

Ok, here's the story - have a 1990 NA ADM, swapped in a Gen 3 3SGTE many years ago and now want to install a TRD 300kph Electronic cluster.
 
I have the TRD cluster, the three cluster loom plugs and have tracked down the pin-outs for the JDM plugs.  I also have run the wire from the speed sensor to the dash for the electronic speedo - been running a small eBay special speed display the last few years to show speed.
 
All I need now is the pin-out for the NA ADM cluster plugs so I can re-pin the JDM ones so the TRD cluster works (and get rid of the eBay special). Has anyone got these or done a conversion like this before?
 
Any help is appreciated :)  I will be doing a full write for all those people who also have swapped in Gen 3 3sgte and want to run the TRD cluster.

    Anyone?

    Or does anyone know where I can get the manual for this car to look at the wiring diagrams?

    Can I make a suggestion? Tell me to get stuffed if you wish.
     
    Why not sell the electronic TRD cluster/speedo and buy the mechanical one instead? That way it will drop straight in.
     
    Or are you wanted to get rid of the mechanical cables that drive the speedo?

    I trawled feebay and forums in the known galaxy for two years and could not find a mechanical TRD speedo, anywhere.

    ^ Ultimately, as i really disliked the 180kph JDM speedo i went for the ADM 260kph one. Not much different in speed scale to the TRD, didn't have the TRD logo (yeah like that really matters but, its what we like) and cost a fraction of what the TRD ones had sold for previously. And not too hard to find.

    I originally thought of doing it this way but since I have the electronic speedo sender in the E153 box, I would need to swap in the mechanical sender from another box.

    I'm 99% certain I can do this... Just need to get a hold of a wiring diagram / pinout for my NA mechanical cluster.

    So downloaded this and traced all the wires on the back of the cluster - the colour of most the wires are different :(  I think this EWD is for a USDM mr2 as I checked them against a Gen 2 cluster I have at home and they match up.
     
    So again, anyone who has a 1990 ADM NA mr2 manual, please let me know ASAP...my car is in pieces atm lol.
