OK so the guy doing my conversion is supposed to know what he's doing LOL. My clocks are electric speedo and the F20 box cable speedo - how do you convert it to work? Give me an iddiots guide please as I need to tell him over the phone, he mentioned something about a digi-dash transucer or something off a GTE? Cheers for any help

Take the sender off of your gearbox and put it onto the F20. There you go, an idiots guide.

I'd be a little worried if the guy who was fitting the engine couldn't figure that one out though... What they gonna do when it comes to the header tank and the numerous other things that need actual modding like the gear linkage

header tank needs modding eh? Well i dunno, he says he's mainly done nova's and older corsa's and a tigra - was just struggling with the elecro to mechanical speedo - he had the right idea though as he was going to get a transducer from vaux for the GTE F20 box which is electo... Obviously didnt realise the F13 speed sender would fit??

You need to make an extra hole in the header tank to fit one of the collent pipes. No biggie.

I don't even think that the Astra sender will even work with your dash, as the signals they send different signals. As far as I know all the senders fit all of the gearboxes - an F15 on off of an Astra fits my F10 fine... (Astras didn't use the F20 - Cavaliers did (I think))

or if you have a 16v header tank you already have the second hole there

GTE used f16 and f20, cavs used f20s

There are two types.

If the gearbox you want to use has a cable driven speedo and u have electric clocks, you either need the cog to electric sender type transducer, or you need to bust apart the gearbox and change the little wheel over that the other type of transducer picks the pulses up from.

I had an F13 with an electric speedo in mine, me and james had to take apart the F15 i had put in, and swap those little wheels around with the F13 so my speedo would work.
