Hi all,

Basically I'm after a way of putting a rev counter clocks in my 1.0 nova?

Is it possible? Will a set of corsa 1.6 clocks fit??

Yep.

Did this to my 1.2. Pretty easy job. Just run a wire from the coil to the rev counter on the 1.6 clocks.

I butchered my original speedo into my GSi clocks, looks like cool and is correct speed. Ran the GSi speedo off my 1.2 box for a bit and was waaaay out.

corsa dials dont fit but nova ones do.

Ah sorry, thought he said Nova 1.6 clocks.

Why do people insist on trying corsa clocks? When Nova 6 dials are so easy to get hold of, why bother?

Anyways, Matt, just get yourself some GTE/GSi Clocks (depending what dash/year car you got) and fit them.

Been offered corsa clocks for £5! But useless if won't fit! where and how do I get a tacho signal? Cable? Wires?

negative side of the ignition coil. a wire from there to the connector on the rev counter on the gte / gsi / sr speedo

Excuse my ignorance!

I run a wire from the output side or input side of thecoil?

Pic would be nice;)

ive got a 1l and my clocks were plug and play!

my 1l before hand also had the rev counetr wire allready there

if tis a mk1, the rev counter wire might be wrapped up in that stick-as-fook foam insulation, if it is then unravel it and itll be a solid green wire

my current mk2 allready had it on the plug, so just plugged them in and off i went lol

rev counter is solid green on both btw if you want to look first :thumb:
