dependant on the type they either fit between the top of the cable and the back of the clocks or they go between the 2x halfs of the speedo cable just to the side of the turbo

You haven't pulled it right from the gearbox have you? That has a very flat end on it. Your meant to leave the "pig tail" part in, and the converter goes on the end of that.
