Soooo... does anyone know anyone locally who does this conversion ? or anyone who has the tailhousing already modified for sale ? Yes I know they have a Cable x unit which will convert the vss to mechanical output. But I would rather spend the money on something more reliable and accurate. Worst case I will machine it myself and buy all the parts. I was just wondering if anyone's done this conversion, or knows anyone who does them at a reasonable price. |

I've done this conversion and did the machine work myself..maybe 15yrs ago now. I have some sketches with measurements if you want them. Did all the work on a bridgeport vertical mill and used T5 parts. Its worked flawlessly. You should check out jagsthatrun.com as well. |

ahh awesome. Yea that looks about right for the machining. I noticed it looked as though it would have needed a block of somesort welded up there to have enough material to machine out. Good job! and thank you. ill look further into this. |

Aftermarket speedo will work daz. But my brand of guages doesnt offer an electric speedo. So if i go with a different brand speedo, that means I have to buy a whole new set of guages to match the 1 guage. : / and I like my guages. they is seksi. |
