colin novarally would be a good person to ask.

[Southie]

Why does it keep snapping though? A bit odd.

buy a new cable, take the inside out, cover it with clean grease and put it back in, it will last at least 20 years! For some reason they don't put the grease in the replacement cables.

search for olly hewits old epic trackdaynova thread - im sure somewhere in there he fitted a little digi ('spa' i think it was) speedo; a small matchbox size thing, in front of his clocks.

spa speedo's are very good, Its what my old 8v ran during its life.

Or save a lot of monies and fit an astra digi dash?

You didn't tell us what car you have, or engine, I can see the point spending good money on a well built racer but not on a basic road car
