Title: OTHER SPEEDOS Post by: njf690 on November 09, 2012, 02:15:58 PM JUST AFTER SOME OTHER SPEEDO CHOICES. I HAVE DONE THE V6 CONVERSION AND WOULD LOVE TO KEEP THE ORINGNAL SPEEDO BUT THE AUTO ELEC RECKONS IT CANT BE DONE.
ANY PHOTOS OF WHAT SOME OF YOU HAVE DONE IN THIS CASE. I HAD ALL NEW WIRING , STEERING , GEARBOX, SUSPENSION,BRAKES. CHEERS Title: Re: OTHER SPEEDOS Post by: FCRB26 on November 09, 2012, 04:13:51 PM Look at pedros build crs have adaptors in stock so you can run your original Speedo and so the computer gets a signal to stay happy. ;D
Title: Re: OTHER SPEEDOS Post by: FC_fer_me on November 09, 2012, 08:07:11 PM I fitted an autometer speedo in MPH from the states. Matches up well with the V6 auto and easy to calibrate. There are some photos on my build here

do you remember what size you bought ? Title: Re: OTHER SPEEDOS Post by: NES304 on November 13, 2012, 10:29:29 PM would have been a 4"
Title: Re: OTHER SPEEDOS Post by: FCV08 on November 13, 2012, 11:53:47 PM I have kept the original with an adapter from V6 Conversions in Moree.
I think the type of transmission dictates whether it is possible or not. Cheers Craig D Title: Re: OTHER SPEEDOS Post by: NES304 on November 14, 2012, 09:20:38 AM I have kept the original with an adapter from V6 Conversions in Moree. Sure does Craig, Assuming you'd have a VP box with geardrive it would adapt, however I have a VT gearbox which has an inductive speedo ie electrical pulse. I think the type of transmission dictates whether it is possible or not. Cheers Craig D These guys have one. I was quoted $800 straight off and then spoke to the guys "mum" and she said $500. I will be looking at using these guys for mine. It is based on a VDO speedo behind an FC gauge. Note the LCD odometer where the mechanical one was. Hope it helps. http://www.howardinstruments.com.au/product_details.php?productid=2389&mdid=910751139434743c4c7a92e05c7e6416 (http://i1146.photobucket.com/albums/o535/nes232/FC-Holden-Electronic-Speedo.jpg) Title: Re: OTHER SPEEDOS Post by: pedro on November 14, 2012, 11:23:17 AM Mine came from Castlemaine auto electrics and was for a cable setup, I can't find the receipt but I'm sure it was only around $350 with a new cable.

Title: Re: OTHER SPEEDOS Post by: FC_fer_me on November 15, 2012, 07:08:49 PM nfj690, the meter I got was a 5inch. Here is the meter on ebay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AUTOMETER-SPORT-COMP-5-ELECTRICAL-SPEEDOMETER-0-160MPH-AU3989-/180852715966?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a1ba971be This speedo will work on the VS-VT Commodore auto and fit neatly where the original speedo sat in the FC dash. Hope this helps, cheers, Jack.
