If you knew what form the signals were supposed to be in for both you should be able to program a microcontroller to do the job.


yes this is a choice - but to most people it is not an option

Thats a start, but depends if the signal is just at a different speed or if its something different altogether.

Not having a dig here but why go to all that effort when its a long shot that they're even going to work anyway? Seems a bit backward to me.

On a positive note I think Marts plan is the way forward but it will mean dismantling everything!!!!

cos its something new, something adventurous, something different

if no one had bothered tring a 2litre in a nova, or a corsa, then it wouldnt be so common now

without the pioneers, nothing new ever happens

and it keeps him off the streets

No, I'm not saying don't do it, it'll be class if it comes off but why bond it into the Corsa clock surround first?

but they planned it forst and made all the bits so it fitted, then tweeked it to run right

im all for making new stuff work, hell look at my old corsa, i tried allllsorts new to that, but i planned it all out well in advance

if worst comes to worst uve wasted 100 quid tops, no big deal

i was just offering how i would do it, which IMHO will work better and be easier

no cables, all electric, which simplifies the process by all of nothing!!
i might need a new speedo transducer, and another fiddle box, but other than that its plain sailing
