Oh hang on, you could use Tigra dials which take a reading from an ABS sensor if you wanted to.

But there are only a few options here. All of which have been covered.

perhaps hes after other peoples opinions too!

He's told you the answer. Use a digidash transducer.

ttt anyone any advice

WHAT :boggle:

you can use a digidash transducer, which has a gear similar to a speedo cable, but then a box on the top which translates the rotations into a speed :)

same as installing a digidash

Speak to Dan on here, i'm sure he kept his eleccy clocks?

You need some mechanical clocks, or the old style electronic clocks. The new style clocks will not work with the older style gearboxes as they read the speed in a different way.

Basically, what you want to do is get a set of cable operated clocks.

Also, the rev counter off of a 1.0 engine'd car won't work properly.

are the cable driven clocks?

x12xe, no problems
c16xe no problems
c20xe i have no idea

im sure they will do, its the gearbox end i dont know about

yeah i have rev counter. that would be good if i could aquire them;)

will they work with the XE?

IF i remember right, 12v clocks wont work properly, RPM will overread. BUT your in luck, provided you have rev counter clocks, i have a set in the garage (4cylinder engine ones) which have no plastic front cover (but you could swap your one onto it)

I have eletronic clocks, XE is cable how will this work:lol:

Also my clocks are 12v ones will this make any difference?
