I know the answer to this question, but I'm not going to tell you until you deposit £5 in my PayPal account (account name greasemonkey, email address greasemonkey666@hotmail.com), or visit www.clickcommerce.co.uk/adverts/gmonkey/adserver.asp

It will fit straight on.
Unfortunately the wiring is different on the STI.

Rob

p.s. it can be adapted quite easily though.

S'alright Burty, I was taking the p*ss, for reasons that would be obvious if you've been reading other threads around the forum.

Thanks for clicking the link though, might have to think of doing something like that for real if you were prepared to click it.

As per Rob's answer, it's physically compatible, but the wiring's slightly different. Others have made the same swap in the past, so quick click on the Search button might throw some light.
