hi
i need to know what to do to wire up my speedo to my f20 gearbox.
i know i need a different dash, cos mine was a 1.0, so it shows the revs as lower than they are and the speedo doesnt work.
wot is needed to do this and how do i do it??
thanks

Not more problems tom... Is your dash electric or cable driven clocks?
If yours are electric the best solution would be to pull a set of clocks and speedo drive out of a late 1.2 8V with electric clocks. The speedo sender goes straight into the F20 and the clocks should fit straight into your dash no-worries.

i wouldnt class this as a problem. not compared with the other ones ive had!
i wud say it is more of a hindrance.
i dont know wot the clocks are, i will have a check, but i thort no 1.2 8v's had rev counters?

u will probably need a manual speedo set and cable to mate to the gearbox, as i dont think the f20 had a leccy speedo did it? is it a gte item or a cav one? gte astra g box shud be able to plug n play if u have rite transducer, if its cav it will probably be cable and need a cable wiring in and dials unless u take gbox appart

Not with an electronic dash, it needs to be an older mechanical speedo

Im running 1.2 16V electric dials (with rev counter) a 1.2 8V electric speedo sender (transducer) and a F20 gearbox and they all work perfect...
