Or. If I'm using a dig dash do I need to convert it at all?

Thanks

Yes you need both of those parts then you need the case machining and drilling to fit it.

Does the f28 drive have the same teeth number as the F20 drive?

[djbrowney]

do a search this was only covered lats week !

[shrtwrec20]

Did a search. Couldn't find the answer to my question.

Can you use the electronic speedo f28 with an astra digi dash?

[djbrowney]

Try looking harder then ffs

An no !

[shrtwrec20]

Maybe instaed of posting useless info like "do a search" and "try harder" you could maybe of posted a useful link to one of the topics you obviousley know where to find, or not bother posting at all

[djbrowney]

How about you stop being a tool and learn how to do search !

[shrtwrec20]

Again another useless post. maybe your having a bad day. Maybe your always an arrogant idiot. Either way, if your not gonna be helpful. Just don't post. It's that simple mate. I was only looking for advice. For some reason tv tell people to come here when looking for information, but with replies like that I can see why most don't bother. There really is no need.
Anyway I've had my rant and wont post again on the matter.

edit:
And browney, it's nothing personal. Just gets on my nerves when I get an email to the iphone saying there is a reply to a thread. Then when the damn thing finally loads up. I'm still none the wiser. I'm gonna chill now. Sorry

4 posts down and everything you need to know. It really wasnt that hard and took me longer to right this post than it did to find what you need to no !!!

Thank you both. Have some rep.

I work in a machine shop so will have to look further into this. If anyone has done it already some measurements would be mighty handy lol

[djbrowney]

i can send you a case that has been welded if you cover posatge, will give you exact size ect

browney, i currently have a mech f28 and have digidash... do i just use a mech speedo cable? havent looked at the back of the clocks yet...

sorry for noob question

[bazil]

Have you changed the speedo ring inside the box? If so use the f20 drive as you would in a f13/20 to run the digi, I'm guessing at what I've picked up recently that if you use the standard f28 drive you need cavy/ calibra speedo.

Edit, the digi dash doesn't work of a cable drive anyway

When i put my F10 trans in an F13 bell housing it came with an electronic speedo pick up, obviously i just pulled it out and used my mech cable, but have wondered if that little electronic device would run a digi dash?

[Mieran]

Probably not, even digi dashes have 3 types of transducers if you mix and match they wont work

Thanks mate. If I fail to source a mechanical one I'll take you up on that:thumb:
